Interviewed Mar 2012 (took 2 weeks)
After going through the normal process via their website's jobs page, I got contacted by email for a phone interview.
My interviewer was a Swedish software developer (he spoke English very well), who asked me questions about my past experience and wanted to know the technical details.

Interviewed Apr 2012 in Linkoping (Sweden) (took 4+ weeks)
First one was the HR interview on phone which went great. Short after that I have asked to take a test which requires to write a script, designing a network, architecture of failover cache clusters and how to manage a large farm of servers. Now it's been two weeks and I haven't heard anything from them.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Hoybraten (Norway) (took 2 months)
My interview at Opera was a real pain process. First of all, there was a phone interview with the hiring manager (marketing's director) that was fine and then I was invited to a face-to-face interview that was an interview with him and other team members. The interviews were ok and I really enjoyed meeting everyone. He told me he would give me feedback in 2 weeks but I heard nothing for 3 weeks. I contacted the in-house recruiter in the process and she couldn't give me any feedback. Since the manager gave me his business card at the interview and told me I could contact him, I called him and he was not nice telling me he still didn't have feedback. After more than a month I again contacted the recruiter and no feedback. I gave up of the application and the company because this was a total lack of respect. Then after 2 months I received an email from the recruiter telling me I wasn't selected (oh really??). So although I liked the people there, the recruitment process was a total lack of consideration and respect.
