Interviewed Mar 2010 in Plano, TX (took 1 week)
I interviewed with two supervisors, and they asked me the typical questions about my work experience, educational background, etc. They explained to me what the position would consist of as well as the deadlines and the expectations for the person that they end up hiring. The interviewers were pleasant although rather conservative.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took a day)
The interview was given a presentation to a panel of interviewers, from the Korea HQ. They didn't ask me many question during the interivew; instead, they wanted me to keep talking all the way. I don't think they want to be changed so much (because the language barrier); so I asked simple questions like company's culture afterwards. Overall, I believe the most important part was the presentation. You must make it very clear to the audience.

Interviewed Jul 2009 (took a day)
My friend referred me first. After I submitted my resume, I got the interview schedule fixed from HR in a week. It took about 6 hours including a technique presentation which took about 45 minutes with interviewees (six in total). I prepared several slides to show them what you have done in the past. I had a lunch with the hiring manager. The last one was from HR and he went over all kinds of benefits and the culture. Pretty standard.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in San Jose, CA (took 2 days)
Very rigorous interview process, on a par with Google...but the make decisions faster.
Recruiter very personable. Interviewers friendly. Admin assistant barely uttered a word, just showed me to a room and gave me a pretty challenging paper-and-pencil skills test. Spoke with several current employees, ate in the company cafeteria. One person described the salary and benefits, which were outstanding.
Returned for a second round, where the director had several programming tests for me, including one I answered by email that nite. All in all, they are working to make sure they hire only top-flight people.
Reason for Declining
Chose to work at a pre-IPO company instead.

Interviewed Dec 2008 (took 5+ weeks)
The initial interview was the typical HR screening interview. This was conducted via telephone and lasted less than an hour. After passing the HR gatekeeper I was scheduled to interview with a group panel that included the hiring VP, HR, and Korean Dispatchers. After successfully passing that interview I then was schedule to meet with the VP of sales in one on one interview. This was followed by a final interview with the Korean President of the division. Within one week I received an offer from the company. Don't underestimate the power and influence in the decision that the Korean dispatcher have. They will tell you that they don't.
