Interviewed Oct 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 weeks)
Phone conversation with a Recruiter who pre-screened me (more so to understand my background and skill level) and sent a matching opening my way.
Technical phone interview with an engineer. After a week onsite, where I was interviewed by 5 engineers (1:1). Good interview process with each one reserving last 10 minutes of their slots to answer questions from my side. Asking the right questions also helps in your interview.
Took two weeks to get back on the results, which dint make sense, and no specific reason given for rejection (which was annoying).
Four months later I was contacted for a opening by another manager, who had the interview results and notes in his hands. He said the interview was positive, but the reason for rejection was because they thought I dint know C++, where as I had made it clear that I have worked with C all my life and know C++, but just no industry experience. Had I known this earlier, I could have interview in C++ for them, an additional round if needed. After my phone screen with this manager, he was baffled since I was more of a match for that team (configuration / app level), then his team (systems / driver level).

Interviewed Jun 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 days)
They were pretty flexible and worked with my schedule. Arranged for a phone interview and a set of personal interviews within one days notice from my side as I was visiting Bay Area that time. They called me in another day for a second interview that consisted of interviewing by different set of people.
