Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 2 weeks)
Got a call from a recruiter and after sending in the resume they set up a phone interview. Not too technical.
Then called me for a in person interview.One whole day met 5 people +lunch. Questions tested my domain knowledge and coding. Not too hard. Overall nice people.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Aliso Viejo, CA (took 2+ months)
Very rude recruiter. she didn't even know how to read resume. As described by the last reviewer - very same BAD experience.
No wonder why this company is not able to fill up so many positions since last couple of months.
I hope some one from this org is reading this and would react!!!

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Aliso Viejo, CA (took 4+ weeks)
I first contacted HR by applying online to which they responded with a form letter, and required answering a questionnaire about your experiences. I filled out the form and was having trouble sending it, so I asked her to confirm the receipt of the questionnaire. She didn't respond so I assumed she was on PTO or out sick.
After a week I sent an email and kept trying to get in touch with her. She didn't include her phone number on her emails so I couldn't call her. I tried the company directory and they have one of those "press the first three letters of the person's last name" type of directory search. She wasn't even listed. I finally left a voicemail and I didn't hear back for a couple of days. Finally an HR generalist responded and said she would contact the other lady who was the technical recruiter (my initial HR contact). The technical recruiter called me and that's when I found out they had already given someone an offer and they had two other candidates waiting in case the candidate refused.
When I tried to politely ask if I should apply to other positions they listed online or whether they would automatically, she said she would let "me" know which positions I would qualify for and "You have no,[sic] Unix, Solaris, Linux, C/C++ or TCP/IP … also no Android or J2ME to go with the Java experience - which eliminates about 75% - 85% of the positions we have open." Apparently she didn't even read my resume since I had mentioned that I had used Red Hat since 1995 or that I had setup and maintained FreeBSD and Ubuntu servers. Also apparently I "have no TCP/IP" despite the fact that I had written plenty of server and client code that was stated in the resume.
She did offer me a phone interview for another position, but I decided that I had had enough. In my opinion, HR represents the company and this company seemed disrespectful of applicants. It did not communicate and respond in a timely manner, nor did it even perform due diligence in reviewing resumes. If companies want applicants to research them before applying, the least they can do is reciprocate and try to research the applicants. Also, I don't mind that technical recruiters don't really know all the engineering details, but please don't insult your applicants by pretending that you know more about their job than they do.

Interviewed Mar 2007 in Oakland, CA (took a day)
I first met them at a college career on my college campus. Among many applicants, I was the one of the few to take the initiative to follow up with the hiring manager, sending my cover letter and resume and offering to have further discussions. In the manager's own words, that automatically raised my position in the consideration stack. The full-time position that I am at now originated from the subsequent internship.
