Interviewed Apr 2012 in Pasadena, CA (took a day)
Interviewed with two people. Manager and associate. Described job and some questions. Took 1 hour. And went very in depth about making it seem like job is super hard and actually said "we try to break our interns" after that I was done. No thank you

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Oakland, CA (took 6 weeks)
I was contacted by the hiring manager and informed that the recruiter would contact me. That took 3 weeks. The recruiter called and we finally connected for an initial screening interview. I waited another 2 weeks to schedule the 1:1 interview with the hiring manager, as well as a panel interview comprised of managers in the department. I prepared for the interview and brought examples of my work. The interview was relatively low-key; the panel was friendly and receptive, and my 1:1 went past the designated time as the hiring manager and I had a positive discussion. During the interview, I was told by the hiring manager that I would receive a from the recruiter, whether I received an offer or not. After the interview, I waited 2 weeks after my post interview follow-up to contact the recruiter. I contacted the recruiter 2 more times before catching her on her phone to find out that she dropped the ball on calling me back to let me know that I did not receive the offer. Fortunately I was able to still contact the hiring manager, who was extremely apologetic about the lack of follow-through.

Interviewed Apr 2012 (took 4 weeks)
Applied on-line. Received call from HR requesting an hour long phone interview. Seemed to go well. Filled out on-line "official" KP Job Application. Prior to submitting, received call from HR inquiring whether I'd had any problems with submission. Completed app and submitted. Noticed several positions I was being considered for had notes indicating, "No longer accepting Submissions". Phone HR inquiring whether that meant they'd filled the position, OR was the interviewing process a work in progress. Have not received any type of communication, except an e-mail from HR stating my qualifications seemed to fit a newly opened position. Have NO idea if they've hired for positions originally applied for, or what to anticipate.
