Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
Recruiting agency contacted me about the position and asked for the most convenient time to conduct a phone interview. I had the interview the same day. They asked the standard questions "What is your background?, What would you like to do?" etc. The person that interviewed me was very pleasant and very knowledgable about the position, the field, and this company. In comparison with interviews I had had with other companies, this was a great interview (and sounded like a great place to work).

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Westminster, CO (took 2 days)
Started with a phone interview which lasted about 90 minutes. The phone interview consisted of an overview of the position, measurement of my experience and work history and a determination of my interest level. Once making it through the phone interview process, I was asked to visit the Westminster Office for a round of interviews with the Director of Sales, Director of Marketing and also with HR. Each individual interview was scheduled to last an hour. However, each session ran over making the overall session last approximately four and a half hours.
The individual interviews didn't seem to be organized too well. The questions were all over the place and didn't seem to be related to the position. In fact, the interview seemed to be more of a venting opportunity. From what I gathered, there are major organizational changes taking place and the employees aren't exactly happy with them. More importantly, the company is experiencing high turn over and the foils who plan to ride it out are seeing their workload double.
Overall, it seems that Trimble has loft goals and are lacking in quality employees to achieve them. Way to much complaining during the interview process to get walk a way with a warm fuzzy or feelings that this is the right company for me.
Shortly after, I was informed that the company stock price took a nose dive and that the open position was being put on hold.....

Interviewed May 2011 (took a day)
Not very well organized interview. The company couldn't decide who would interview me and the final person they decided on conducting the interview seemed like she had better than on her mind than conducting an interview that day. I left feeling very unimpressed with the professionalism of the entire organization.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 3 weeks)
Applied online, received email from recruiter in Colorado a week later.
Asked me to fill in a skills evaluation form. Sent it back and she
emailed that she sent the package to the hiring manager in Sunnyvale.
A few days later got a call from the hiring manager, after a phone screen,
he asked me to come in for a live interview. Went in for one round of
interviews at Trimble Sunnyvale. Interviewed with manager and two senior
engineers. Everyone was cordial, nothing out of the ordinary.
My impression is that they are an older, mature company with things
very entrenched. So job walls are very rigid, you have to fill the
position like a glove. They have a lot of history and a lot of people there
a long time by Silicon valley standards. Words I would NOT use to
describe the vibe - enthused, passionate, excited, fun. Just seem
like very competent people doing their job.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took a day)
First recuriter called me and then a few weeks later hiring manager called me to ask for an on-site interview. The interview lasted 4,5 hours and met with 4 engineers and 1 manager. The most part of interview is technical. And engineers are very nice and respectful expect one is asking very trivial but tricky questions. In general, the people there are easy going. The downside is low salary comapred to other comanies.
