Interviewed Mar 2012 in New York, NY (took 1 week)
I went to Super Saturday after the phone interview, questions are not hard but quite comprehensive. Ranging from HTML/CSS/JavaScript to Database, PHP, and many more.
They also did a couple of behavioral interviews, being interviewed by several employees. The Super Saturday was a 9 hour evaluation for candidates, it could be seen that they do care about hiring the right people.
The free food was quite good.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in New York, NY (took a day)
When the company is telling you they are hiring the best while I have never heard about them before and that in the same time you have never experienced a so easy programming skill test, you know something is going wrong.
They even tell us during the final/last presentation, that they don't hire people that are think they don't have to learn anything from their company. In other words, they don't hire skilled people. Just to give you an idea, the programming questions are roughly about how to compute a sorted array containing only odd numbers from a sorted array...
So if you think you are a below average developer, this company is made for you.
Personally, I didn't make any effort to get the offer and even if I got it, I would have refused it.
My overall interview experience for that company is negative since I didn't learn any useful things for other interviews, except maybe how an easy and useless interview process looks like.

Communication was really slow/bad. Takes too long for the recruiter to contact you. I think they are as disorganized as employees accuse the company of being hostile to work at. Thumbs down.

Interviewed Mar 2012 (took 1 week)
Applied through Linked In. Got an email from HR regarding the interview. Called up promptly on the scheduled day. HR round went for about 20-30 mins. Asked all general questions like Why NextJump? What did you learn through your intern? etc. Then told me that Tech Interview will be done in another 10-15mins. Got a call from there Systems Team and was interviewed on all technical aspects for about 45 mins. Then got a mail for the Super Saturday. They arranged everything from flight tickets to hotel stay. Had a marathon of events on that day. And got the offer by Monday. Was a fairly simple process.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Boston, MA (took a day)
Consisted of a general HR interview and then a technical interview involving standard programming, data structure and efficiency questions. For a web programing position, there were a surprisingly large amount of programming questions, which leads me to believe that the position more heavily emphasizes programmer rather than creative.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Cambridge, MA (took 2 days)
HR asks couple of questions about your personality, if you answer some arrogant answers, you will get red flag and they will not call you back no matter what your technical skills are.
As some employees feedback here, tell them when NextJump will be next Google, how can you help them to do that. They like to hear those sentences.
You need to make HR or person who interviews you feel so great, be very positive then you will get the job. Your technical skills are not that important to get the job because HR people are inexperienced and they're driven by their emotions.
Multiple choice and simulation test were the hardest one and I knew that I failed, however I got the job cause I suggested them that I could help NextJump to be next Google, it was piece of cake.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
Initial interview was with two people. One was more technical - did some sql. The other was more seeing if I was fit for the culture. Second was Super Saturday which was a skills test, a coding exercise, two interviews with employees, and a group presentation. Everyone seemed fairly nice. I asked quite a few questions about Next Jump which may have reflected positively on me.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Cambridge, MA (took a day)
I went to Super Saturday where for one day a bunch of candidates take tests, make pitches, listen to presentations, etc. NextJump has everything in place to be a great environment to work in. All the standard perks and then some: food, in-house gym facility, laundry service, etc. The big question left unanswered is the atmosphere. How are the people? The signals I got on this were mixed. Most of the employees (especially the programmers) seemed unenthusiastic and aloof. A few were more excited. That coupled with the numerous bad reviews on glassdoor should make one very wary... Could be a great place to work or an awful one that's posing as an awesome one (which I would say is far worse). Hard to say from my limited perspective and things could change for better or worse at any time.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Ithaca, NY (took a day)
I submitted my resume during career fair and had a great conversation with the recruiter talking about my past experiences. It kind of felt like an interview with all the detailed questions he asked.
During the interview, I was asked to talk about everything on my resume. The recruiter was really friendly. The conversation was very casual.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 6+ weeks)
This was a really confusing process. I had applied for the same position last year and didn't get through. However, I reapplied for the position again a couple of months later and the same recruiter set up a phone interview.
The first process was a basic HR round which consists of simple questions pertaining to your background. This is a very simple round that asks about how you would fare in a challenging situation, what your priorities are and why Next Jump, among other things. The recruiter promptly called me at the specified time and the whole process took about 15 to 20 minutes.
At the end of the call, I was told to expect further instructions for a technical round, within the next two weeks. I didn't get any correspondence and requested for the status on the third week. I got an email in the fourth week, with the next date and time to expect a technical phone screen.
This was around the fifth week, and the technical screen was rather strange with the interviewer asking no technical questions and only very generic questions, much akin to the HR round. He told me that he was interested in seeing my academic work before ending the phone call. The phone call was prompt and on the time specified, and the interviewer was very courteous.
Again two weeks pass with no information being exchanged. I finally pressed for a decision after 17 days following the technical phone screen. Four days after this, I got a generic rejection letter. I have no idea what happened or how they came to the decision without a proper technical round.
The entire process took around 47 days. Mine could be an exception since I have heard others that have had a faster hiring routine.
As others have pointed out, there is a Super Saturday gathering of some kind if you make it through this round for on-site interviews.
After reading the reviews posted by employees here, I am actually sort of relieved that I didn't get through. All the best to those who are interviewing here.
