Interviewed Jan 2012 in Buffalo, NY (took 2 weeks)
The way events unfolded with Synacor was absolutely astonishing. I did a preliminary phone interview, then a phone interview with two of the senior technicians. At which point they decided to fly me out to their Buffalo, NY location. I went in for an interview and wound up interviewing with ~10 people in a 3.5 hour block, which was not an easy thing. The last hour or so of my interview was only with the two senior techs that I initially interviewed on the phone with. They asked a few questions regarding definitions of things; some of which I didn't know.
At the end of the interview, the HR rep said that I should hear something by Wednesday the 25th (I interviewed on January 20th, 2012). It is now February 28th and I have yet to hear anything. I've emailed and called several times in an attempt to get a response and all I can surmise is that the HR rep is blatantly ignoring my calls and emails.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Buffalo, NY (took a day)
Was given a short phone interview and asked to come in to meet with several people. The interview went from easily answered questions to tough questions fairly quickly, and no matter what they never seemed impressed. At one point, after being told to draw something out, I turned my head to see the interviewer shaking his head with a smug look. Regardless, I received an offer for the position.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Buffalo, NY (took a day)
It was a phone interview at the beginning, which took about 20 minutes. They asked me about my work experience, preferred salary, the environment where I would like to work and some basic interview questions. Then they asked me to do a web test, which took 50 minutes. The questions were kinda hard and I didn't do it well.

Interviewed Dec 2007 in Buffalo, NY (took 2 days)
The interview process was very professional. I sent them my resume and they requested that I take an online skills test. Once they received my scores they requested an interview, they were very accomodating and allowed a phone interview since I was from out of town. After the phone interview I came in for a face to face and was offered the job on the spot. Overall, a very professional and non-intimidating experience for my first full-time position out of college.
