Interviewed Jun 2010 in Boston, MA (took a day)
Talked on the phone with a VP of Marketing. Frankly, I got the distinct impression that I was one of many people he called that day for his superiority complex fix. He asked me a few questions, some of which I had no way of knowing without having worked there before. Unfortunate experience.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Boston, MA (took 4+ weeks)
1st - Recruiter
2nd - Hiring Mgr
3rd - Hiring Mgr's direct reports (future peers)
The company is very technical, and had little focus on business. The team's egos were very inflated and they were more focused on their academic credentials than they were in actually growing revenue.
