Interviewed Apr 2011 in Riverside, CA (took a day)
Very basic interview in front of two PIs. General behavioral questions and light technical questions. Mostly concerned with future plans and interest in research, little or no experience was required. You have the best chance if you are a good grad school applicant already.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Riverside, CA (took a day)
The interview was very formal- to a fault. None of the questions asked had any soul to them. They were all very cookie-cutter, and inspired nothing. All three of the panelists were extremely stern, and had no sense of humor what so ever. It seemed like a very uncomfortable place to work.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took a day)
First they went over resume with you. They asked quite detailed information in your resume. Second you will do a behavioral text, the questions are simple and pretty straight forward. Last you will meet with the supervisor for a one-to-one interview.
