Interviewed Jan 2012 in Cork (Ireland) (took a day)
Interview lasted all of about 25 minutes, of which 10 minutes consisted of a preamble about the job, no more than 10 minutes consisted of examining my experience and skills, and 5 minutes of my questions at the end. Never felt that my skills and experience were adequatley examined or probed

I was asked some technical questions about C/C++, Linux/Unix and OS in the first two rounds of 1:1 interview.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Fort Worth, TX (took 1 week)
The on-site interview went from 10 AM to 3 PM with no lunch break and no lunch. The company did not tell me that there would be no time for lunch, either. Some interviewers were late and dressed very sloppy. People there were very stressed out and tired.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 2 months)
This was one of the most frustrating companies to interview with. Over the course of two months I must have had somewhere around 7 phone interviews including the internal recruiter. From the time I first interviewed with the recruiter, each following week I would receive an invite via email to schedule a phone interview. This went on for 7 weeks (one phone interview per week) until being informed the finalist would be brought on-site in California for the face-to-face interviews. I was not the finalist.
Two weeks after my last phone interview the recruiter called to let me know I was not selected. I am pretty sure they dragged it out so long in order to keep a running “pool” of candidates until they could source one that best matched their culture. More and more companies play this game now due to the tired economy where they know they have the upper hand.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took 2 months)
WEnt through a long interview process that took forever meeting the same individual three different times along with a spattering of other folks. All said it took them a long time to finalize a decision even although it was clear form the second series of interviews that I had been selected.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
Interviewers kept saying they were being honest, but seemed to try to discourage me from working there by telling about how frustrated they were with their jobs, how hard it was to work for a foreign company that treated US divisions as irrelevant to their broader strategies. Most people who interviewed me were new to company and half seemed happy.
