Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 5 weeks)
The process was very well organized. The recruiters were responsive and kept me updated with the process. The only problem was, they didnt allocate me lunch time!! The recruiter probably forgot but the interviewing team was very accomodating and I ended up taking the offer and working with them. Very profesionally managed process

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Redmond, WA (took 3 days)
Interview loop; 8 people. Precision questioning. Each interviewing building on previous interview. Be decisive and honest. Say you need to think about something before answering if you need time to give a thoughtful answer. Take the time to think. Silence is ok. Otherwise answer precisely the question then elaborate to give more color.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Seattle, WA (took a day)
The interviews were mostly focused on current abilities and mostly focused on reasons for taking the job.
The most common question was "Why do you want to work at this specific position for this specific group?" and "Do you know system X well"? (where X is a department-specific system).
I think the days of "hiring for the company" instead of "hiring for the position" are gone.
