Interviewed Jan 2011 in Okemos, MI (took 4+ weeks)
After a phone interview, I was brought in for a two-hour group interview. The first hour was a personality interview, and the second hour was a preliminary technical interview, including some whiteboarding. After that, I came in for a full-day interview, which consisted of several 45-minute rounds of group interviews with people throughout the company, including the CEO. The end of the day involved me showing a working application I had to prepare in advance.

Reason for Declining
Accepting would have meant relocation, and my wife would have had to quit her job. The offer wasn’t quite enough to make that workable, though TechSmith seemed like an ideal place to work.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Skills Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Okemos, MI (took 1 week)
I found the company on a college career website and applied immediately. About a week later, I received an email from a member of the customer service team asking about my availability and was offered a phone interview. The phone interview was mostly behavioral questions (Have you ever encountered a difficult customer? How did you handle them? etc) and resume questions. Less than 30 minutes later I was offered an in-person interview at the office. This was a little intimidating as there was the member of the customer service team that conducted my phone interview, as well as a rep from HR, and the CS manager. The interview consisted of 45 minutes of behavioral questions similar to the ones in the phone interview. All three had a packet of questions that they rotated through until you had answered enough of them. Three days after the interview I was offered the position.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took a day)
The interview for web development consisted of two portions: a one hour panel interview, largely consisting of standard questions, and a one hour whiteboarding sessions. The whiteboard questions were about web page layout, form posts, and database design. If you make it through the first day, there is a second day of interviews with various personnel within the company, but I didn't make the cut so I can't provide any specifics.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Okemos, MI (took 3 weeks)
I met with a company VP and a software developer. They were both very friendly. I did not know what to expect but the interview was first 30 minutes or so of general background and behavioral questions. Asking mostly about my experience and interests. Then I had about another 30 minutes just with the developer to do some whiteboard problems. He gave me three algorithms to implement in C++ and asked me to think out loud through the process and explain my answer. Overall, they were pretty basic problems, which anyone with some computer science background should be fine with.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Okemos, MI (took 2 months)
First, I had a phone interview of approximately 30 minutes. General questions, including salary expectations. Then I was invited for a 1.5 hour interview. Before the interview I had to complete a 6 hour design test. In the interview, I met with approximately 6 people including HR and management. I had to present and respond to a design critique of my work and then answer typical interview questions. Then, they were to get back with me in two weeks. I followed up in two weeks to find out that they would like another interview. This last interview consisted on 6 hours, a new person or group of people every half an hour including the President. This was intense however gave me a clear idea of how the company worked and their values. Overall, everyone was friendly, inviting, and polite.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 5 weeks)
Interviewed with 4 people, 1 developer, 1 HR, 1 team leader and 1 management. After an hour or so of discussion about past projects and behavior questions moved onto an hour of technical whiteboard questions with 2 developers. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. Unfortunately they took much, much longer than promised to get back with me. I was told I would hear back within 2 weeks for a 2nd interview and the whole process would be done in a month for sure. Instead it took me emailing and calling multiple times (after 4 weeks had gone by) to get answer. Overall it was a positive experience despite the lack of information at the end.
