Interviewed May 2009 in Boulder, CO (took 2 months)
Relatively laid back, non-specific questions about the position. Main focus of the interview was around my background, previous work experience, views on running a project.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Boulder, CO (took 2 months)
I interviewed at Wall St On Demand in June for a jr to mid level software developer position. The beginning of the interview process went very smooth, was contacted and setup for a phone interview, and a day later they called me back to setup an in-person interview.
I took the time off work to go to Boulder and interviewed with 3 developers. The 3 developers were very kind and the interview itself went very great. They gave me a 3 part test that was to be hand-written.
Here's where things go downhill. After the interview we shake hands and go our separate ways. A week goes by and I have yet to hear anything from WSOD, or even receive an email. I give them a call to see the process of my application, because even if I don't get the job I would at least like to be informed of it. I speak to a lady there and she told me that they were very interested and most likely just going through the paper work necessary. This made me very hopeful and I was very excited.
Another week goes by and I get a call back from WSOD from a different person, and this time he gives me the same speech as the lady before, that they are still interested, and that I'm still in the running but it could be 1-2 more weeks. Fast forward one week, and the same guy calls me back and tells me once again it could be another 1-2 weeks but I'm still a candidate. 3 weeks later and I'm writing this review and I have still yet to hear back from anybody over at WSOD whether or not I received the position. This is very UNPROFESSIONAL way to handle hiring someone.
We are not talking about a CEO position here, this is a low level position that shouldn't require this much paper work. If they were not ready to hire someone within the near future, they should have not posted the job application on the internet. Not only that, but if they aren't ready to hire they should not keep stringing the interviewee along by saying they are interested multiple times instead of just saying "We found out we don't have the resources to hire anybody right now. Our Bad."

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Boulder, CO (took 2 weeks)
I was called in and met with about 8 different Design leads, and finally I met with the Creative Director. I and they asked some questions, I showed them all some work samples, and it was very chit chatty and not very formal. It seemed that they cared a lot about how well we all connected.

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Boulder, CO (took 1+ week)
Phone interview with technical questions first. Since the job was for C++ developer, mainly C++/STL questions like what's pass by reference, what is iterator of STL classes, etc. And some SQL questions like what's aggregation and how to use cluster index.
A few days after the phone interview, got the request of onsite interview. This is more standard engineer interview, which common questions like "describe your strength and weakness", "why do you want to leave your current job". People were friendly. The workplace looked quite crowed and noisy.

Interviewed May 2010 in Boulder, CO (took a day)
Interview was extremely informal, seemed like they pulled a couple guys at random to talk to me. The technical questions they asked seemed a bit unreasonable for a candidate looking to gain entry into a training program. The entire thing lasted about 15 minutes, as it seemed like they had already chosen the candidates they wished to have and were interviewing me just to get it out of the way. Overall pretty terrible experience.

Interviewed May 2010 in Boulder, CO (took a day)
I attended a meet and greet/interview session for a web developer training position that they were offering. They said in the job description that they wanted someone who knew a programming language (discounting HTML and CSS). But when I was interviewed by 2 managers they asked me questions on CSS. I figure why they did this is they already picked their limit of people in front of me, so they just gave me a subject I wasn't prepared for and I was suppose to fail at.
Also, during the meet and greet which was before the interview they seemed to focus their enthusiasm on a young guy from India while other candidates in our group seemed to be ignored (even though some asked very good questions and had very good knowledge of the company- more than the guy from India). I pretty much knew before I was going to be interviewed that the guy from India got the job due to where he is from and him having a friend who works there.
The people were ok. I met some cool people and one guy I could tell who didn't like me from the start. The management seemed full of themselves and for offering an entry level position with training they make it too hard to get into.
However reading reviews from employees on this site before the interview, the people seemed happy and it didn't seem stressful. Based on what I saw I wouldn't mind working there, but also this was after hours and I don't know how it really is there.
in the end, I know I didn't get the job, but it's no loss based on the low pay and the high amount of stress.
