Interviewed Dec 2009 in McLean, VA (took a day)
HR folks seemed friendly enough, but several interviewers were late and clearly unprepared (or otherwise demonstrated that they just didn't care) for interviewing me. To top it all off, HR left me waiting for over four weeks after the interview. I ended up having to call them only to find out that they didn't want to "move forward." Not terribly impressed in hindsight.

I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Presentation.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 2 days)
Spoke with two of the employees there. First phone interview was basic stuff nothing technical. Basically guaging my personality and seeing if I was a fit. Got a call to interview with one of their engineers. Asked a little bit more about my experience in computer vision. Was looking for more entry level so I didn't have the level of expertise they required.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in McLean, VA (took a day)
Received an out-of-the-blue phone call from what would become my immediate manager months after handing off my resume at a campus career fair. Was very short, perhaps 10-15 minutes long, I didn't even know it was an interview. Went over what the position was for, my general interests, which programming languages I 'knew', and whether I'd be interested in fulfilling the position. All the questions were pretty much questions about information already on my resume that I expanded upon slightly or regurgitated. It was all very informal, and felt like the main purpose was to make sure I wasn't a weirdo and that I had a work ethic.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 2 weeks)
It was a phone interview. They asked very easy questions about basic data structures (linked lists, hash tables, etc). The final question was about how to design a system to manage an elevator.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Burlington, MA (took 3 weeks)
Started with a phone screen and then a brief 1 on 1 at my school's career office. Two weeks or so later I had an on site interview that consisted of 3 1 on 1 interviews with my potential supervisor and some others in the department. The interviews had the feel of being free form and didn't have many penetrating questions, mostly asking for details about previous job experiences and school, and also talking about the job. I then went to interview with the HR person and we discussed mostly company infrastructure type topics. It seemed like a nice company to work for, for the right person, but I didn't feel like the fit was right for me.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in McLean, VA (took a day)
HR handled the scheduling and travel arrangement process in a very efficient manner. I end up having to come out twice to talk to two different groups. Everyone I met was very enthusiastic and the work environment seemed rather laid back.
The interviews themselves were a little too easy. For the most part, I got to hear a good deal about the corporation's philosophy and some generalities about the work undertaken by the groups to which I talked. But, I didn't feel that one of the groups did much of a job of probing my qualifications and talents (the second group on the other hand, did a more thorough/standard grilling).

Interviewed May 2008 in Bedford, MA (took 2 days)
Very simple process, each of the workers in the area would talk in a one on one interview and describe what they need from the new employee and you would meet with the hiring manager and he would outline what exactly ( usually the job description) they are looking for in an employee. Quick and easy process, technical questions about your job then you usually get to know within a few weeks if you received the job or not.

I was supposed to have a panel of 3 individuals of the security department, one didn't even show up. I was an in house contractor. They gave the job to a less qualified applicant.they told me this was because they were afraid I would go on to better things
