Interviewed Dec 2011 in Renton, WA (took 4 weeks)
Talked to recruiter for Sr. Accountant position (I am an MBA) - she phoned me. One of the questions she asked I found inappropriate was " am I Russian". Nevertheless I agreed to an Interview, since I waited one year for an opening for Accounting position at this same company. I met with 4 members of the team - AP Manager, International Acct. Mgr, US Acct Mgr, and Director of Accounting for both US and International. The interview went well with all, but the US Mgr, who was not interested to find out what I can bring to the table and my match with their requirements, but to find something that I am not familiar regardless if its required for this position. I sent thank you letters and was told to wait after the Holidays. No one called and had to phone the recruiter. She said she doesn't know if I am their choice, but few hours later e-mailed me that they picked someone else. Something was very wrong in this whole process. It was rude for interviewing someone for 4 hours and not making the effort to let them know about your decision, so they can go with their plans. If you plan to apply at this company please make sure you find more inside info first - they seem not to like minorities.

Recruitng manager found me. Very positive interview.. quite knoweldgeable on the business and had a good grasp on what was important. Described the company well.
Did a second phone interview with the hiring manager - was brought in the following week for interviews with sales and marketing partners. Interviewers were on time and engaged. Very enthused about the business and had good energy..challenging day with different styles

Interviewed May 2010 (took 4 months)
Phone interviews with:
Recruitment consultant.
Hiring Manager.
Heads of Departments x 3
It was weeks between each contact even though I sent follow up emails and telephone calls.
It appeared each person I interviewed with was more interested in tellling me how good they were.
There were veiled comments about the CEO, indicating he was indecisive, changed company direction frequently and was a micro-manager. I got the feeling his reports did not like him.
Felt a very inpersonal company.
I didn't have much confidence in the people who interviewed me level of competence.
From my first contact the process took 4 months until I recieved an email from the recruitment consultant telling me they had chosen another candidate.
