Interviewed Oct 2010 in Emeryville, CA (took a day)
Had to present the company to a panel of "experts" that were with the organization and considered top management. They are all gone now.....every last one of them.

The head of staffing called me a few days after receiving my resume. I came in to meet with five, very smart, and friendly people the following week. I received an offer soon after my in-person round. Great experience!!

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Emeryville, CA (took a day)
I was contacted via email from the hiring manager. I didn't consider myself a perfect match for the position but wanted to have them keep me in mind for future positions. Doing build/release is just one of the many hats I've had to wear as a career systems engineer so I was really curious about the company and what its business model was. The hiring manager could not have been more pleasant. She was extremely candid about what the company did and what they were looking for. Phone-screenings can be nerve-wracking and this experience was anything but that. I hope they will keep me in mind. I didn't expect an offer but it was really nice of the hiring manager to take a little time out and discuss the company and how they implement their build and release processes as well as the company's products and goals.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Emeryville, CA (took 6+ weeks)
One of the most intense interview experiences I've for a direct sales position. Required a group presentation of their value proposition to the E-staff and members of the sales mgmt team. The hiring manager at the time - SVP Sales - created a bit of a pressure cooker with some challenging questions. However, generally the group was good natured and, if you do your homework, the process goes smoothly.

Negotiation Details
Negotiation was ... unique. After the interview, there was an immediate pow-wow among the evaluation team with a "go/no-go" decision. So, you get the news that "you're in" and a packet is immediately placed in front of you with a pen. It was expected that you'd accept the offer on the spot.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 2 days)
I was contacted by a recruiter who got me a phone interview. I spoke to a very nice woman and made it to the face to face round. I met and spoke to 4 people at Lithium and I found each one very intelligent and passionate about Lithium. The senior engineer gave me a sorting problem to pseudocode and he was happy to share with me some solutions after I flubbed it pretty well. I appreciated that very much.
I had told the recruiter that I already had another offer, so he got me in there quick and I was sent an offer letter the very next day. The offer came complete with benefits information and it was very competitive in salary and stock options. It made my decision very difficult.
Had I not had the other offer, I would have gladly accepted, because the people were quite amicable and the culture seemed very collaborative to me.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 days)
From the phone screening, it appeared like they were looking for a certain experience which I didn't have a lot of, and so didn't expect them to move forward, but I was called for an interview anyway. There were 3 different interviews and the most striking part was how unprofessional the overall experience was. None of them appeared on a timely basis, sometimes making me wait for up to 15 minutes between the interviews. I had a real trouble communicating with one of the persons, who would resist giving any more details about a problem that is missing a lot of details to come up with a complete design. Another interviewers brought in an intern with him, so that he can watch us and learn, and I didn't feel comfortable with "certain" type of communication between them. The 3rd interview was just fine, though it was mostly technical discussion (no coding). I didn't get an offer, but wouldn't have accepted one anyway.
