Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 2 weeks)
Great HR/OD process. The interview gave me feedback and made suggestions on other roles that I could apply for.
I really did like the 1:1 interviewer as well, however I got the dreaded 'over-qualified' feedback. It actually happened mid-interview. I had the impression that they were thinking of a different role, however nothing has occurred yet.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 2 months)
Initial phone interview with hiring manager, followed by phone interview with HR. Couple of weeks after that, 1:1 with hiring manager and other team members. Week after interview with hiring manager's boss. Two weeks of silence to get the offer. One week of negotiations to accept the offer. Background check after that.
Negotiation Details
Get your priorities straight and negotiate what you most care about. I was told by HR the salary was at the top of the band and later found out it wasn't true.
