Interviewed Apr 2012 (took 1 week)
Manager called me a week after I applied online for an interview two days later. In the 1:1 interview she asked me what I knew about Quiksilver, why I wanted to work there, and what I liked to do for fun. She said she would call me the next week for a second interview and never did.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Huntington Beach, CA (took a day)
Applying for a position at a company like quicksilver was relatively laid back. After the initial online questions /survey and essay you just have to wait for an answer to come back. I was fortunate to receive a call less then 2 days later. I spoke with an employee who would laterbe the interviewer. He was probably in his mid 20s and was extremely laid back but still maintained a professional appeal. In the 1 on 1 interview he asked me basic questions; what do you like to do for fun, tell me about yourself, why quicksilver, and one interesting question... If you could be trapped in one object, what would it be? And how would you get out? The interview process was actually enjoyable and I ( being the outgoing and friendly person I am) found the interview to be exciting and fun. Quiksilver has an awesome building.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Was offered a position at a start up company and thought the start up would be more beneficial for me down the road. I knew I could learn more at a start up and take those skills anywhere rather than learn at Quiksilver where I may have been pigeon holed into one job task.

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Personality Test.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Huntington Beach, CA (took a day)
The interview was very short and very casual. The interviewer asked me three basic questions (i.e., Why Quiksilver?) and then extended an offer to me on the spot. I asked him a few questions about the position/duties and he couldn't answer any of them. Shortest interview I've ever had.

Interviewed May 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)
I went in with an idea of the kind of employee they were looking for. A few of my friends were also working there at the time. The interview process was the smoothest I had ever been to up until that time. It is important to just be yourself. My interviewer was also a college grad student, so connecting based on the closeness of age and on familiar topics was what really made me stand out and let her see that I am a good team worker and do not alienate myself in a team environment.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Huntington Beach, CA (took a day)
What a mess this company is! I know we all need a job right now... but avoid this place if you can. I went on an interview and decided not to take the position. HR calls me a week later and leaves a message on my machine trying to get me to come in and interveiw... for the same position!!!! I think that they are over worked... but wow. HR completely didnt know that I had already met with the hiring manager a week before.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Huntington Beach, CA (took a day)
There was one simple strait to the point interview. Discussued basics of job description and exactly what would be expected. Companies overall culture is very relaxed (T-shirt, shorts, sandles all completly acceptable and actually encouraged (very cool)). Office environment is really cool with tons of memorabelia posted on walls and they have a very clean working enviromment.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Very Strait foward, no BS, no games. Hiring managers were very strait with what was expected aa well as what on the table.
Advice? Company is fair and forthcoming but my advise is; prove you have game and the rest will follow.
Awesome culture if you want to be part of the leading act within the surf industry!
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview and a Background Check.
