Interviewed Jun 2010 in New York, NY (took 3 weeks)
The interview process was a good one. I applied online, had an initial phone conversation with the lead on my team. After speaking with the lead I was contacted by the in-house recruiter who told me that the company is interested in having me come into the office to meet with multiple members of the team. There was no drop off. They were interested and they kept the process moving. I met with a peer on the sales team, the lead on the sales team as well as the lead on the account management team. The team was full of energy and I felt that I meshed well with them. I had a phone conversation with the GM and went over expectations and then the recruiter let me know the company wanted to make me an offer.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Series of interviews with two employees at a time (which was kind of intimidating). Each interview was a little different. Most of the people were pretty impressive (I probably should have prepared more). They definitely expect you to do your homework on Marchex and their industry and products. They also want you to have a lot of examples of making tough decisions, dealing with difficult colleagues, and being agile.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 2 weeks)
2 Phone screens and then a 5 one-hour loop with pairs of interviewers for each interview. Pretty intense, not a lot of brain teasers but lots of open ended questions (as if they were waiting for you to reveal your true self). each interview was slightly different but a lot of questions about motivation, knowledge of marchex, and requests for examples of certain behaviors.
Ironically, I got an offer from Amazon but not Marchex which was not what I expected. I will admit they seemed pretty smart but not sure what they were looking for. In either case, I would have gone to Amazon anyway.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Seattle, WA (took 2 days)
This was an internal hire, so the process was more organic. I spoke to HR, and the same day I spoke to the hiring manager. The very next day, I spoke to 2 of my would-be colleages just to make sure we "clicked". Everyone was terrific.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Seattle, WA (took 4+ weeks)
I responded to a Perl jobs ad. I traded a phone call and a few emails with their recruiter. After a couple weeks of low-level communication, I had a technical phone screen. Afterwards, I was invited on-site.
The panel interview was 4.5 hours long and consisted of 6 sessions with 1 or 2 individuals each for a total of 8 people. I was asked to write code on the whiteboard: a routine that would find the first palindrome of a certain length in the digits of Pi. I was asked to design an object model for a blackjack game. I was asked to design the SQL DTD for a system to store music. I was asked how I handle conflict within a development team.
It was all very straightforward. Two managers came and pitched their respective teams to me, and I asked questions about the customer, about the product, about how the company does its work, and about the processes they use to get work done there. I even asked about parking. Several of the interviewers spok about how Marchex doesn't just give lip service to work-life balance.
All in all, I went away feeling very good about the experience, and thought that I'd handled everything well. I made a point to talk about how thrilled I was to see a Perl job opening, and how working with Asterisk would be a real treat.
The next day comes and goes with no communication from Marchex. None on the next. On the third day, I wrote to the recruiter asking why they were passing on me.
He called me back the following day and said that I did very well with the technical part of the interviewing, they had no problems with that. The reason why they were moving onto other candidates was because they felt that I wasn't really interested in the job.
I was, of course, not asked questions during the interview about my level of interest in the job.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Seattle, WA (took 3 days)
I was contacted by the HR department to schedule an appointment within hours of submitting my resume through their web site. I had two phone screens, one with the technical recruiter and the other with the hiring manager. At the end of the week I was scheduled to come in for 4 hours of interviews with the hiring manager, HR Director, and IT Team. The interview team was extremely well prepared and stuck to prepared behavioral questions and specific questions about my background.

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Seattle, WA (took a day)
The senior exec with whom I met was ostensibly looking to build the leadership bench at Marchex. The company had yet to develop and execute on a solid strategy, and he was looking for a new group of leaders to take it there.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Bellevue, WA (took a day)
Non-structured interview with Director. He was new to the company also. I tried to follow up several times but had no response from anybody. To my opinion, it is a courtesy to send me a email or phone call even if they are not interested if I was trying to follow up.
