Interviewed Mar 2009 (took 3 weeks)
There was an initial phone interview where the recruiter contacted me. She did an initial interview that lasted about 30 minutes. I was then asked to visit the facility for a campus interview. I met with 6 individuals - both engineers and directors. The interview lasted for an entire day. The campus was nice and people seemed alright. They did not get back to me with the decision. I had to ask them. I was offered the job but did not accept it as I had received another offer around the same time.

Interviewed May 2010 in Bloomington, MN (took 1+ week)
I was contacted by a Seagate recruiter and submitted my resume. A couple days later, I was contacted by a Seagate manager with whom I talked on the phone for close to an hour. He sounded enthusiastic about me, but I didn't hear back for about 10 days, at which point an HR rep asked me to come out for an interview three days later. I called Seagate's travel agent and they arranged flight, car, and a comfortable hotel right near their location.
I was asked to prepare an hour-long research presentation, and given a precise schedule of my interview (9am - 3pm) several days ahead of time.
My interview consisted of my hour-long presentation and Q&A, then about 8 one-on-one meetings with members of the group I would join, from young engineers who had been there 2-3 years to a VP. My initial impression was that most of the group members were "midwestern" and low-key, but they were extremely smart and asked very good questions. They explained to me some of their group's organization and basic challenges and roles. I was asked to talk about my background and personality in detail, but there were no gotcha or trick questions, a noticeable difference from my other tech interviews. They seemed pleased with my background and resume.
I was taken out to lunch for an hour with the manager. My interviewers were friendly in terms of offering me coffee and bathroom breaks. Individual interviews started and ended on time.
My final interview was with HR. They asked me about salary expectations and other offers. I was a little bit coy, but estimated one other forthcoming offer, and told them that I was very favorably impressed with Seagate and enthusiastic about the job. A few days later, they decided to match my competing offer.

Reason for Declining
This was a very tough call for me, but ultimately I decided that another offer was a slightly better fit for me in terms of personality and location, as well as long-term prospects.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Scotts Valley, CA (took 4+ weeks)
Regular interview process with recruiter first and then hiring managers.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Don't join this company, especially this team. I've heard the management style is particular bad for this team. Also, what the company promised in the job offer could be changed after you actually are on board.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Shakopee, MN (took 1 week)
I had a telephonic interview and then was called over for onsite interviews. The telephonic was about 45 minutes and onsite interviews consisted of a 1:1, panel interviews and skills test. Overall, the experience was positive. All people who interviewed me were veterans in the company and really seem to enjoy their work. The last interviewer showed me around the company and the seagate manufacturing process.

Interviewed Jul 2009 (took a day)
First screening interview but was very thorough with questions from hiring manager.
Did not do well since I had no knowledge about some of them.
Recruiter was very professional but hiring manager seems to be very specific about the person he wanted.
