Interviewed Jan 2012 in Gaithersburg, MD (took 2 weeks)
I interviewed with (Multimodal Information). First I had to submit all my job application materials online (as per usual). Then I was asked for a phone interview which consisted of one main interviewer and two others in the background that would add comments or ask questions sporadically. They told me they phone interviewed ten. I was then invited for an on-site interview. They paid all expenses (airfare, hotel, per diem) related to the travel. The on-site interview consisted of a presentation to a group of a dozen or so members of their group, and the rest of the time being spent with one or two main interviewers. They asked questions ranging from skills assessment to fit. They told me they brought three to interview on site. Pleasant interview experience, good group.

Everything was nice. They show me around. The equipments are dazzling and they boasted about the ample funding they secured from the government. I gave a talk. It was well prepared and well received. A lot of people asked excellent questions. No tough fighting at all.
