Interviewed May 2011 (took a day)
Hiring manager contacted for a phone interview and asked basic job/ interest questions. Next, a panel interview was scheduled . Panel consisted of about 4 senior engineers and an HR person. Interviewers were very friendly and the conversation was casual. It was my first job interview and I was nervous. Interview was done in a conference room. I reached their 10 minutes early but took them about 30 minutes to get together for the interview. It seemed everyone was super busy.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 2+ weeks)
Phone call from two different recruiters. The first interview went really well, typical top interview questions. However the second interview was with a different manager. He set up a time to do the interview, he called 22 minutes early. The entire conversation seemed distance, as if he didn't even want to do this interview.

Easier interview. Basic behavioral skills interview, personality fit. They seem to care for the brightest individuals from the best colleges, but they do select people based on fit.
