Interviewed Sep 2011 in Lexington, MA (took a day)
I received an email from MIT Lincoln Lab HR informing me about their desire to interview me for a position. The email exchange was slow, taking place over several weeks. I was initially contacted in July, and it took August to finally schedule a date for September. They arranged to fly me from my location to Boston and accommodate me at a nearby hotel.
I arrived early morning ready to spend at least half the day interviewing. I first met with an HR representative who asked me some preliminary questions and then walked me to Group 95. I interviewed with five employees from Group 95 on a 1:1 basis, including a manager, a contractor, and a recent graduate. They all detailed the nature of their work, asked me questions about past engineering experiences in college, and asked some behavioral questions. My last interview occurred with two people, and I was challenged to walk through on a whiteboard how I would program a calculator. They knew programming was outside my range of knowledge, but the purpose was to see how I would think about the problem.
As this ended, I was escorted back to the HR representative for a debriefing. I was told that I would hear back anywhere from a window of a few days to a few weeks and that they would look into my references if the Group was interested in hiring me.
No one contacted me for weeks, so I decided to call the HR representative, and I received an email from him the next day declining my candidacy.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Lexington, MA (took 4+ weeks)
5 one-on-one interviews including an interview with group leader, technical staff, and assistant technical staff.
Checking in to the lab took a while, you have to leave your cell phone at the front desk. There were a lot of other people interviewing for different positions on the same day.
I worked here as an intern, so the group already was familiar with my work and background.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Boston, MA (took a day)
Brief HR overview, followed by seminar followed by a series of 1:1 interviews. People asked a lot of really good technical questions and all seemed to genuinely love their jobs.
Advice for others: Put a good seminar talk together and be prepared to ask technical questions about it.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Lexington, MA (took 2 days)
The group flies you out for a day or two of on site interviews. They typically assemble several groups that are interested in you and you spend about half a day interviewing with each group. Each group has four 30 minute interviews - my interviews were not technical and were fairly typical behavioral interviews. The interview process of each group differs slightly, but this was the typical structure:
1st interview: Meeting with team leader or more senior team member. This interview is mostly them giving you an overview of their group. They might give you a lot of time to ask questions or might ask you if you think this sounds like something you're interested in.
2nd through 4th interview: some mixture of young and old people interviewing you and asking you typical interview questions. Always ask if you work well in groups, they also tended to ask about experiences listed on the resume.

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 2 weeks)
You first pass an online coding test made of up of 4 questions. You have to score at lest 80% on each of those tests which are administered by codility. If successful, you are then submitted. If you are called for an interview, you meet with 3 engineers for 1-2hours at which time they ask you about your resume and and about one of the coding problems.
I was also asked about implementing a linked list and the difference between an initialized character array and a constant poiner to char.
Interview Questions
char someArray[] = "abcd" and
char *ptr = "abcd"
