Interviewed Feb 2010 in Broomfield, CO (took 5 days)
Set up a profile on company website (required) and submitted a resume for several open Analyst positions. Within 3 days I had a recruiter call me to ask if I'd be interested in speaking with a manager about a possible part-time position. Two days later got email from said manager and had 1 hour phone conversation. Two days later face to face meeting. By 11 am next day offer made and accepted.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Broomfield, CO (took a day)
Professional and Brief. They were doing half hour screening interviews during the first round of interviews. The explained the position well. It was a contract position. I've heard that most of the positions they fill are contract positions. The corporate campus is nice and impressive. The interview was a one on one with the hiring manager, facilitated by a hiring coordinator. The coordinator shuttled me back and forth from the front desk.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Denver, CO (took 3 days)
* Responded to an agency advertisement posted on DICE for a regular full-time position.
*Preliminary phone screening by a contract recruiter who identified the hiring company. (Level 3) Note: this company has many open advertisements in various channels and also works with a number of staffing agencies.
* Conference-call interview with hiring manager.
*Interview consisted of a 10 minute discussion of the project and department. This was followed by a script of approximately 30 technical questions. A "wrong" answer to any question disqualifies the candidate.
*A successful candidate must be able to respond to questions with answers that very closely match those found in a common text book on UNIX Programming.
Some examples:
What are the exact steps taken by a server to establish a socket communication?
What is the purpose of a MUTEX ?
How does a thread using the PTHREADS API work with a MUTEX?
How would you use the MMAP function (file memory mapping) in a UNIX system?
How would you define a virtual base class in C++? [describe exact syntax of such a class]
What is the difference between "public", "protected", and "private" methods of a class?
How can you access "private" methods in a class (from other classes)?

Interviewed Sep 2008 in Broomfield, CO (took 1 week)
I was chosen from a group of contractors to apply for a full time position after my contract had expired. I interviewed with the manager of the group for which I was being considered as well as his manager. Having already been familiar with the job and the interviewers, it was considerably easier than expected. I demonstrated my knowledge of the industry and provided applicable details and examples of where I had succeeded and where I had to adapt and learn. After that process, I then briefly interviewed with HR (I think mostly to make sure I was sane in their eyes), which consisted mainly of just background information and why I thought I would be a positive member of the company "family".
The facility here is great, plenty of amenities, including multiple cafes, an exercise facility, a mobile barber, plenty of parking, and more. All of my interviewers were approachable, comfortable, and very professional. I would definitely recommend taking an interview at this company.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I was offered a very fair salary and benefits package. I was satisfied right off the bat, knowing the standard pay scales of the industry I found my offer well above the high end of the job I was taking, and also knew based on several friends' salaries that I was made a very fair offer. I did not even attempt to negotiate based on these factors.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Background Check.
