Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 2 days)
Applied online, was then called for interview. It was a long 2 day process starting early morning with breakfast interview, then a series of 1-on-1s (about 30/50 minutes each), then a presentation then more meetings -- and was treated to dinner (both evenings).
Very tiring process, but everyone was very friendly and nobody was quite 'out to get me'. Very cordial and interesting talks on all the 1-on-1 meetings.

Just questions on computers in general. They ask about how much you know about computers and blah blah. Experience with computers is important in general. They are pretty easy. They are just looking for anyone with decent computer skills.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 2 days)
Allot time for parking and finding the building and room. I was provided with a detailed email from the administrative staff instructing me where to pick up my parking permit and asked the helpful parking attendant where to park. Look carefully at the signs (make sure you park in designated areas for your permit). Bring a print out of the campus map. Ask others you run into for help with directions. Planning ahead will save a lot of stress. I recommend visiting the location a couple of days before, or the day before, if possible. You will arrive in a calm and confident state.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 4+ weeks)
I received a call about the job and was given general details about the position. I was asked to schedule a time for a phone interview, which was one on one with the hiring manager. A few days later I was asked to come in for a panel interview. There were three people on the panel including the hiring manager. Once I got past the second round I had a final interview with the CEO and the hiring manager’s supervisor.
