Interviewed Mar 2012 in San Francisco, CA (took 4+ weeks)
This was probably the worst interviewing experience I have ever had. Not only did the interview process start 15 minutes late but it was 3.5 hrs long because they simply booked and offered too many people to come in for the event. I thought they were extremely unprofessional and casual and you can tell they didn't really care about the people individually but just seeing who can stroke the companies ego more. I felt like I was in high school again sitting at the table and all candidates raising their hands, asking questions and naming facts.
The one on one interview was fine and we were asked to pitch furniture as a presentation. During my presentation the guy who was interviewing me was looking out the window and not paying attention. Really unprofessional and discouraging.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
Every one was pretty nice but they just didn't make me want to work there. They didn't seem too interested in holding the interviews or even talking with us. Interview process was fairly easy except remember to remember the names of the people you talk to!

Interviewed Sep 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
The interview was a group interview with candidates all similarly qualified (recent graduates with little to no experience). Each candidate was taken out of the group to have a separate one on one interview. there were a few unexpected surprises thrown into the interview. the surprises were there to see how candidates would react to unexpected situations, how candidates interacted with people, and to see what sales skills/instincts people had. They really did a good job of selling the position (8hrs a day of only phone sales). They gave a tour of the office and I see why a recent graduate would have a good time working there, there are over 90+ young, social people working there

Interviewed Sep 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
In a group of 8 people, 3 managers came in and talked to us about the company. They told us that a total of 36 people were being interviewed for a total of 6 positions, and they wanted people with no experience so they could train them themselves. We were first asked what our life long goal was. The next part was a quick 5 minute 1 on 1 interview. We then had 15 minutes each to prepare a 5 minute presentation which consisted us pretending to be a travel agent. We finally rejoined as a group and they talked again for about 30 minutes and then we had to fill out a questionnaire containing both review questions to see if we were listening and standard interview questions.

Interviewed May 2011 in Monrovia, CA (took a day)
I got an interview with Loopnet through a recruiter and was told the HR representative wanted to speak to me first. After having a brief phone interview with her (she asked all standard HR questions), she set me up with an interview with the hiring manager.
I went in expecting the interview to last maybe about an hour but it ended up last 4 hours. The manager I met with really enjoyed talking - he spent the first hour giving me all the history of the company. He asked me the typical questions (what have I been working on, what do I want to work on, etc). At the end, he gave me a skills test with questions focused on ASP.Net, C# and SQL.
I went for the interview with ASP.Net and C# skills and very minimal SQL. I was told that was fine since this was not a DBA position. On the skills test, I fell short on the SQL part which I expected but the manager seemed to really not like that. He kept telling me that these are things I should know - when I mentioned that I had not much experience with SQL, especially not with live databases, he would reiterate that he doesn't need another DBA so that was fine, but then go on again about how little I know.
I didn't feel like the manager and I were a very good fit. He kept telling me through the whole interview how much I could learn from him and how lucky I was that he knew so much. He also spent a lot of time talking negatively about his team, telling me how bad they were and how he was going to have to fire someone in order to take me on. He would tell me how he doesn't micromanage but he can hear questions being asked between cubes so he knows who's dumb and who's not. Seriously, he put it like that. I didn't really know how to respond to this but personally, it's not an environment I want to work in.
At the end, he told me that he wanted me to come back later in the week to meet with his DBA and to study up on SQL. Again, I didn't understand why - studying SQL did not seem like something beneficial, to me or to the company. Apparently his DBA is his right hand man and he doesn't hire anyone without him meeting with them first. However, because this interview had already taken 4 hours, I was really reluctant to go back.
It ended up taking over a week for them to call and at that point, I had decided that I didn't want to go for the second interview. I was told a week later that there was another position open on another team but I had already found something else so I didn't go back. Overall, it was a pretty bad interview experience although I learned a lot about what I did not want in a manager.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 5 days)
Went through HR screening. Made me wait 30 minutes before anyone came to see me. Met first manager. Not a lot of smiles. Quoted Glen Gary, Glen Ross and asked for a roll play. I was asked about my motivations for wanting to work for the company and grilled on my sales resume. They seemed somewhat scripted. The interviewers were not personable and did not seem interested in developing any rapport, or divulging any personal information.
Second interview came the following week, much of the same.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 3 days)
They have there HR recruiter call you and screen your background and talk about the position. If you get through that you leave 1-3 minute voicemail about yourself and why you want the position. Then you meet with the regional manager for a 1:1 interview. Then you meet 2 sales managers. Then if they like your vibe they'll call you back. Once you get the call you have 2 more 1:1 interviews then you go through about 5 or 6 panel interviews with 2 or 3 sales managers at a time. At the end you meet with the regional manager you meet with on the first day and you here back relatively quickly with the feedback and offer.
-They all ask the same question gets very tedious. Stick to your answers and be confident they have all been in your shoes.
The reason they didn't give me the position because they thought I would be bored with the position. Which is very true.
Btw very casual work environment. Try not to dress in a suit. recommend you Dress in a tie, slack,and shirt instead.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 5 days)
First I had a telephone interview. Then that same day I was instructed to leave a voice mail saying why I am the perfect candidate. I came in for a meet and greet with about 15 others. We did a small presentation to one of the territory sales managers, we had an interview with another territory manager and we had another activity with Sam East the national sales manager.
After that day, they called me back to come in for a final interview. I spoke with 6 people on the second day. I got the sense they they really wanted to know who I was and they wanted to know if I was up to making 80 phone calls a day. The questions were basic and sales related. They pretty much all asked me the same questions-- Who are you and why do you want to work here? Also, why should we hire you? They were all very nice and I was not uncomfortable or nervous at all. Although, I felt like I was speaking to a lot of people, it was all quite casual and low pressure. They addressed my concerns as well. I was frank and said I was looking for a company that invest in its employees in both training and internal promotions. They promised an excellent training program and assured that they promote from within.
They offered me the position the same day and I accepted it. I actually turned down another job with a higher salary because I like the atmosphere and size of the company more. It is young and vibrant but they still mean business.
