Interviewed Sep 2011 in San Jose, CA (took 2 months)
I applied on line. I received a call a several weeks later from the hiring Director's assistant. I then had multiple phone interviews and then several on-site interviews. Once I interviewed on-site, it took several months and a lot of follow-up on my part to close the deal. Even after that, the negotiation phase and such were painful to say the least. HR is a process I don't even want to go into.
Overall I would say the interviews themselves were great, but the process after made me want to eat nails. It made the overall experience for me horrible.

Negotiation Details
Do your research, know your range and stick with it, do your research. Yes I said it twice, do your research.
The process took to long from final interview to offer, and then almost as long to negotiate - about 3 mos total. They almost lost me several times.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed May 2010 in Oakland, CA (took a day)
There was a panel of interviewers who were all involved in the department, including the hiring manager as well as workers in the department. The questions asked were all behavior based questions...give us an example of a time you acted and something did not go right. What happened/ What would you do differently if it happened again? How would you approach a project of getting a new initiative started? How involved would you be in the initiative? What would you be looking for as the project progressed? Describe how you would handle a situation if you found employees not completing their work and hiding it? What if there was one employee doing this? What if there were ten employees and you couldn't keep up with the work if you fired them?

Interviewed Jul 2008 in Pleasanton, CA (took a day)
The process was pretty straight forward. There's an HR policy in place regarding how many candidates the hiring manager shall consider, and who should participate in the interview. The overall process is fairly quick once the ball gets rolling. It appears most positions filled are through some kind of referrals.
