Interviewed Apr 2008 in Davis, CA (took 2 weeks)
The interviews were fun in most cases. I was able to talk to quite a few really smart and interesting people. The frustrating part was that I had to go through 1:1 interviews with 7 people, 6 on the same day. That seemed kind of excessive.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 5 months)
It is a very lengthy interview process. They have you meet many people from multiple departments that you may not be dealing with directly in your actual job. My experience may have been longer than most, but be prepared for at least 4 or 5 interviews. Most of the interviews occur in SL. Your ability to navigate in SL may help you make a better impression but is not critical for your interview. Definitely try to understand who is interviewing you and what their relationship would be to you if you were hired so that you can answer with that in mind. They seem to touch on how well your experiences prepare you to operate in this fairly non-structured environment and succeed. If they are hiring for leadership, you may be asked how you would attempt to change the environment and why you think your approach would be successful.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 months)
very positive, with one conspicuous exception (initial telephone screening w/ HR manager--it was obvious that he had a few dozen telephone interviews just like this one to make that day). The people are very bright and obviously enjoy their work and work very hard. They are, of course looking for those attributes but also for "decency"--character is clearly important to them.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Seattle, WA (took 6+ weeks)
Very flaky interview process. Initial was a phone screen with an HR recruiter, then a technical phone interview with a developer. Was told to expect a call in the next couple of days to schedule a in person interview. Didn't hear anything or get any response back from checking in until 3 weeks later when they asked to schedule an interview, no explanation for the delay.
They flew me down to their headquarters for a 7 person all day interview battery. Was told I would hear about a decision within the next couple days. No response at all from them following that, not even the courtesy rejection letter.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 4 weeks)
I have done many interviews over the past six months that have run the gamut of experience. Linden Labs is by far one of the most positive experiences I have had with any company. They have been very professional in all communications and interactions. I have done interviews with Linden Labs on the phone, "in the world", and on site. I expect them to make a decision on my employment next week.
The people I have interviewed with are friendly and have made the experience much less stressful than most companies I have interviewed with. I was even given several status reports of where I stood with them during the process without having to ask. They have followed through on any and all plans and commitments.
Even if I don't get an offer next week, then I would still highly recommend this company as a great place to pursue for your next career opportunity.
