Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 3 days)
Interview was disorganized. He arrived 10 minutes late apparently having been delayed on a phone call. But made no explanation or apology.
Did not have copy of my resume and when found one it was clear he had not read it.
Body language was that he wanted to be elsewhere. He turned his chair to face the door which meant he was looking at the side of my head and I had to twist uncomfortably to face him. He then watched everyone who went past until whoever he was waiting for finally came into the room and gave him some paperwork.
He could not describe what the job would actually entail. This was a senior PM role but he could not tell me where a senior PM fit into their organizational structure which is broken into silo or who I would report to. When asked a direct question about it the response was "depends".
Was not asked any questions that would allow me an opening to present myself as a candidate. Asked more questions about the company I worked for than about me. Interview was bascially over before it started.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 days)
Let me start by saying I didn't get the job.
This confused me because I was there for nearly two hours. I spoke to three people.
When I first got there it is clear they screen for QA Lead and QA Engineer positions at once. First I spoke to a woman briefly and we had small chatter. It was an easy interview focused mostly on process. I waited only a few seconds before I was introduced to a QA Lead and we spoke briefly before the head of QA stepped in and joined the interview. The QA Lead didn't have very many questions - but those he did have were simple mobile/QA Process related questions; this is a web to mobile place which should inform you about the type of questions I got. The head of QA asked many questions about my history and specifically about what I wanted to do in the future.
Again, the interview lasted two hours and they needed someone so I expected to get an offer. Apparently I made the wrong decision when asked where I wanted to be in five years I said, "Lead QA or a Project Manager." They didn't like that I said PM - and flat out rejected me on that basis.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.
