Interviewed Feb 2010 in Oakbrook Terrace, IL (took 3 weeks)
I was approached by a recruiter at a staffing agency about a QA contract with RedBox. Met with the recruiter, the staffing agency wanted to present me to the RedBox hiring manager.
First, RedBox closed the position cause they found few candidates and then decided to reopen it. After that the recruiter set up a phone interview with the Manager. I never received the phone call. I contacted the recruiter about it. Found out from the recruiter that RedBox's new QA Director wanted to hold off any further hiring. All of this going back and forth took several weeks.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Staffing Agency and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 2 weeks)
Started with phone screen. Then second phone screen. Finally got in-person interview. Lots of esoteric questions. Didn't seem to focus much on "real life" experiences. They've gone Jim Jones on all the Agile stuff, pair programming, etc., etc. They seem very arrogant over all their success and that you should be honored to just be interviewing there. They have some cool technology but seems like there is little independence for developers.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 4+ weeks)
Consists of 3 phone screens and 2 half-day interviews. Working through recruiter, so didn't have extensive communication w/ company. Heavy emphasis on problem solving skills, knowledge of company is a must. Overall very impressed w/ organization and intensive interview process.

Interviewed Mar 2007 in Oakbrook Terrace, IL (took 4+ weeks)
After being asked to present an hour presentation to the panel, the interviewers rudely interrupted me, played on blackberries, and even answered a call mid interview! I was not impressed with the professionalism of the group and declined the offer.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took a day)
The corp. recruiter was very professional during the phone interview. I had a panel interview that was a little initmidating, very small room and five other people grilling me, so to speak,. The panel questions were predictable, mostly "give me an example of"..... regarding all of my past performance points. I go back for the presentation and final part of the interview process in a few days. Wish me luck!
