Interviewed Feb 2010 in Shawnee, KS (took 6 weeks)
First was a phone screen with HR recruiter from the company. She asked very general questions to make sure that I passed the screening test. After a week plus, she called me in for an in-person interview with the hiring manager, along with the engineering director and VP.
During in person interview, the focus was 2 part. First part was to make sure that you can do the job,, and second part was to make sure that you fit in the company culture. Overall it was a pleasant experience.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Lenexa, KS (took 3 weeks)
Very surprising how loose and uncertain the whole process was. The recruiters that were calling seemed to get their wires crossed on who was calling. I talked with one and set up an appointment, then the other one called trying to set up an appointment. At another point, after I had had the initial interview with the human resources person, there seemed to be a disconnect so I called back in. They had down that they had tried to reach me but I had not responded. As far as I know, nobody had called or emailed me. The second interview was an elimination process with a two sales managers on a speaker phone. I was informed "The way this works is we spend ask questions and then you have 10 minutes at the end to ask us questions..." Very mechanical. No small talk allowed. No room for conversation. I don't know how they hoped to learn anything.

Interviewed May 2010 in Shawnee, KS (took 2 months)
More or less it was a waste of time, they kept saying that they were still in the process of considering. Two months later, I got an email saying that they were perusing other candidates. Luckily I had already found another job by then, Its a long time to wait when they tell you they'll make a decision by the end of the month.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in Lenexa, KS (took 2 weeks)
Submitted an application on the company's site. Received a call back asking to set-up a time for a phone interview. Had the interview as scheduled, however I found out during the interview that there were some additional qualifications they wanted which were not posted n the position description online. The call lasted maybe 20 minutes.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Shawnee Mission, KS (took 3 months)
Began the interview process with trading phone calls In November with HR. Got invited in December to come in for a basic test consisting of scripting logic, how I would respond via email to a costumer, and questions over other basic IT knowledge. After this, I was invited back to talk to my would be bosses, who were really nice, and seemed to have a personality match with. Was told to wait about two weeks and would hear back from the HR rep. Two and half weeks later into January had to call back and was told by the HR rep that I would be offered a position but didn't want to commit to that, and also that I was second on their list to fill a couple of positions available, and I should wait two more weeks. Asked if I could be bumped off their list at this point, was told no, could only be bumped down. Two weeks passed, no phone call, come to find HR rep is ignoring any inquiries.
In a nutshell, people seemed nice, interviews were relaxed and be prepared for a general IT quiz. Take any word from their HR with a grain of salt.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Kansas City, MO (took 1 week)
Started as a phone interview, then went to a skills test and one on one with a hiring manager and technical staff. Overall, pretty simple and straight forward, however there is a fairly large gap in what the company considers a certain position and what is considered by most.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Shawnee, KS (took 2 weeks)
I saw a job posting online, so I applied at Perceptive Software. I got a call back within a few days from and HR generalist. She basically wanted to set up a phone interview with one of the recruiters. Within a couple days a recruiter called me. She asked a bunch of general questions about my qualifications. A few "tell me about a time" type questions. And the typical "why do you want to work here", "why do you want to leave your current job", "what kind of work do you want to do" type questions. Nothing too difficult. Especially since I had been asked all this numerous times by others in my job search. The phone interview was approx 1hr. Then after that she said they would be in contact if they decided I was a match.
About a few days later, I got a call that they wanted to continue and wanted me to come in and take a skills test. Apparently all developers have to take this skills test to get hired. At that time they were doing C++ and Java there, but I think now their tryin to get into C#.NET. I scheduled a time to take the C++ test, thou I would have rathered C#, but give my choices I felt more comfortable with that. I was told to come in and tell the receptionist I was there to take the test, and the test would take 1 hr. When I got there my first impression was that the inside of their builder was very nice and very contemporary, and I would love to call this my work home. But the receptionist was slightly rude and kinda short. As if she had done this a thousand times before and hated even being asked to administer these tests to applicants.
She showed me to a room that was little more than a closet with a desk and chair. Luckily it had a full length window. Anyone claustrophobic might have trouble with that room. She plopped the test an a couple pencils on the table. Mumbled something about fill out the first page, blah, blah, and you have 1 hr, this is scratch paper. She rambled the instructions off really fast. Which goes back to me feelin like she didnt care and this was merely an unwanted interruption or her day. Luckily the instructions on the page were pretty self explanatory. The front page was some personal information stuff, so they can do a background check if you continue in the process. The 2nd page was all written, no multiple choice. They asked me to create/write out several C++ classes, which included polymorphism, and inheritance. Since I didnt have any idea what would be on the test, I was kinda caught off guard. However, I did finish the test, and do so within the hour. Thou when the hour was over, the receptionist never came back to check on me. I took the test back to the front desk and was told it usually takes 3 days for someone to grade the test. She thanked me for coming in, and handed me a generic card (she wrote the HR Generalist name on it in pen) to call if I had questions. Overall, I know I made a few syntactical errors on the test, but I felt my logic was solid and I still had a chance for the job. So, I felt good about my chances. After 3 days exactly, I got a form email saying, blah, blah, thanx but no thanx. I guess I didnt pass the test and that was the last I heard from them. Apart from the phone interview, the only person I ever interacted with face-to-face there was the receptionist. And kinda struck me as odd that they would have a person with such an uninviting personality as a receptionist. Given that shes the face of the company to anyone that walks thru the front door.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Shawnee, KS (took 2 weeks)
The phone interview was very easy and the young girl conducting is seemed to be following your basic "How to conduct an interview" worksheet.
Had an inperson interview with the head of the group and someone who would have been my colleague. Very friendly and I thought it went VERY well. Never heard anything for a couple of weeks and then all of a sudden I got a "form email" that said i didn't get the job. Pretty frustrating.
