Interviewed Jan 2010 in Alexandria, VA (took a day)
I had an initial phone interview with questions to screen applicants by interest and future goals. I then had a 1:1 interview with a senior employee on the team and then the manager of the team.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 4 months)
Applied online - first screening was done by phone with HR recruiter. Recruiter liked me and said that they would pass on my application to hiring manager. Months went by without any news and I finally got a call to come in and meet hiring manager. I came in and met with HR recruiter first and then met with hiring manager. That interview went well and then had two more phone interviews with other managers. Was told that a decision would be made by the end of the month. A few more weeks went by and still no word. In the end they selected another candidate, who they felt had a little more experience in a particular area than I did.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Alexandria, VA (took a day)
Two separate interviews - first with HR person, second with hiring manager. Interview started late, not on my accord. Spent probably 15 minutes sitting alone in a conference room.
HR person was intimidating, almost questioning the qualifications and experience listed on my resume. Very uncomfortable. Went down my resume item by item, and asked very detailed questions about why I left each position. Got the impression that my qualifications had not be reviewed in advance of the interview. Had an awkward exchange where I had to explain a position change listed on my resume - HR person didn't understand that I never left the company, and assumed I had only been working for them for 6 months. Didn't respond well to nervous humor. Because of the interview running late, never got an explanation of benefits.
Second interview was very comfortable, very much like a discussion. Was asked to watch a video and critique the content for effectiveness. Was given a tour of the floor, and ended up in the middle of an awkward situation where the staff was gathered in the middle of the workspace putting golf balls.
Post-interview, needed to get my parking validated, and had an awkward moment where the receptionist forgot who I was, and needed the HR person to confirm that I had just interviewed with them.
