Interviewed Oct 2011 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
I got a phone interview, followed by an on-site interview. The questions for the phone interview was rather simple and it consists of a behavioral interview section and also a technical skills section. The same goes for the on-site interview process. The questions are rather easy compared to the ones I have encountered, and it seems that the on-site is more for the employees to determine which candidate they like more rather than an actual technical skills / cultural fit interview.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 2 days)
I saw the position posted on the company site. I contacted the hiring manager via email to introduce myself, gave a resume and a writing sample. I had two 1 on 1 interviews with the manager and director of the department.
The type of job as well as the working conditions fit very well with my background.

Interviewed May 2009 (took 2 weeks)
Interviewed with HR and with the hiring manager. Then, met in person with the hiring manager and the product team. Spent time with four people over a half-day. Questions consisted of a mix of personality and skill assessment. The team was closely knit but diverse in their interests. Office was well appointed and offered many ways for employees to recharge.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in San Jose, CA (took 2 days)
With the exception of a hiccup with the online job application (I ended up having a friend of a friend that works at Orbitz offer to submit my resume herself), the process went very well. Prior to my initial phone interview, they found some open source work that I did, and were very impressed with it. I believe that is what sealed the deal. My resume was submitted on a Tuesday, I got a call from HR on Wednesday, phone interview on Thursday, face to face over lunch on Friday and got a verbal offer a couple hours after that.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 2 weeks)
First did phone interviews with the recruiter and the hiring manager. Then went for an in-person interview with 3 separate people. They were eager to fill the position and I was a good fit, so the interview was pretty easy. Standard questions - why I wanted to leave my old job, why this job sounded interesting, what experience do I have related to this job, etc...

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 1 week)
I arrived at the office and discovered that the hiring manager was out sick. However, I did do a half hour phone interview with him in the conference room. Then I met with 3 different people for 1 on 1 interviews. I think perhaps 2 were manager level positions within the finance department and 1 was a senior analyst level. Each interviewer asked me to describe my past work experience and gave me behavior-type questions. The atmosphere was friendly, casual, and relaxed in every interview.
A couple of days later, I returned for a 1 hour interview with the hiring manger. I was asked to describe my work experience and interests in more detail and answered some more behavioral-type questions. These behavior-type questions seemed to be more related to whether or not my personality would fit with the group. (Questions like: Tell me about a time when you had a conflict with your manager.)
After my interviews, I emailed and called HR and the hiring manager several times to find out about the status of the position. I never heard back from anyone. I was very surprised by the lack of professionalism of this company and found this to be extraordinarily rude.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 4 days)
I applied online for this job and then was contacted by a recruiter to schedule an interview with the team. The recruiter was very helpful and organized. I received an email that listed everyone's name and position that I would be meeting with. I basically met with the recruiter first for about 15 mins... then met with 2 sets of 2 people for 30 mins each.
The first group involved a senior designer and the design manager (who would be my manager)... the design manager had to leave early for another meeting and she seemed very preoccupied with other things going on. I didn't get to ask her any questions and was a little disappointed.
The next set of people involved a designer (who said nothing the whole time) and the creative director. The creative director seemed alittle preoccupied too with being on her phone .... though she was helpful in answering my questions. She let me know that they did just start the interview process and it might take a month to complete.
After, I emailed the recruiter to say thank you, etc... she emailed me the next day (2 days after my interview) to say that they filled the position. Weird!

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
Orbitz called me to inform me I was selected for an interview...although they didn't say they were from Orbitz at first so I had to google the HR lady's name to figure out it was them. I then scheduled a time to go to their Chicago HQ and interviewed with 4 people one on one, the HR rep and 3 people on the finance team. The interviews were all fit interviews and not extremely stressful. Try to be relaxed and conversational and really just show your enthusiasm and willingness to learn. The team is very small and so indicating your preference to work in a small team and how you'd enjoy the opportunity to really get to know everyone on the team will be a big plus.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 4+ weeks)
I was warned prior to my interview about Orbitz that I may go spend a day with them to never hear from them again. Well it was true, their HR is incompetent to say the least. This is the first company I have been brought in for and then not followed up with. I pretty much gave up on trying to get any updates as I am sure I did not get the position. Given how they treat prospects I think I am better off not working at this company.
