Interviewed Jan 2008 (took a day)
2 interviews, each with 2 engineers. One with manager/HR.
Technical questions mostly. Interview last about 45 minutes. The degree of technicality varies with who interviews you.
Culture is very laid back Planning is not a strong suit of the company. Things can be pretty disorganized. Terrible development tools. Great benefits.
Agile development methodology followed loosely. If you have a good manager you can do well here else not so much, Also lots of people who have been in the company for years, can be hard for newcomers to break into the cliques. Lots of oldtimers also means people haven't a clue how things are done elsewhere and assume theirs is the best way.
Positives. Great benefits. Company treats people fairly. No long hours. Good work life balance.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Itasca, IL (took a day)
Met with 1-2 people at a time. They asked questions about items on my resume and had me code simple programming examples.
Everyone seemed really nice and smart.
If you have something on your resume, you better be able to back it up.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 weeks)
Informal phone interview first for about 45 mins. Followed the week after by 2 meetings with senior team members who asked pretty standard questions about my background and recent experiences. Finally met the guy who was to be my new boss for an informal chat in a pub where he proceeded to offer me the job straight up! I received a phone call later that afternoon confirming the offer.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took 2 weeks)
Be strong what ever you mentioned in your resume. Most of the questions will be asked from your resume. Two technical rounds will be taken by the senior members of the technical team followed by manager and head of the division interview. If you clear the manager round then almost you're in.
