Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
Interview consisted of phone and in person interviews. The people were nice and seemed to have already made up their minds.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Nothing. Their offer was firm. FYI don't let them talk you into a bonus plan. You'll never see a dime of that money.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 5 days)
It appeared to me like they were desperate to get some good fresh talent into the organization.
Though I had applied since I needed to make a change, almost all interviewers were trying to sell me how good the position and company was.
It looked to me like they needed me more than I needed them. and this was even without putting me through a decent technical test or screening
This was kind of unusual and I am glad I refused to join.
(spoke to a few ex-employees of that place)

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Denver, CO (took a day)
Had an hour+ phone interview with hiring manager where we covered technologies listed on my resume. Nothing too technical and no tricky coding questions. Was asked to interview in person--scheduled to meet about 5-6 people over the course of 4+ hours.
In person, the interviewers didn't seem to have looked at my resume before the meeting. Mostly high-level questions about search technology.
Didn't receive an offer and was told I didn't know enough about the internals of a popular open-source search library. That's funny!!! I don't remember them asking any questions to gauge my knowledge in that area. Job is still open.
