Interviewed Aug 2010 (took 4+ weeks)
Interviewed for a role in IT. Extensive interview process with a broad cross section of people. Met several executives. I was very impressed with the overall team, and culture. Company seems to be headed for greener pastures. Company is moving from Boulder to Broomfield, which could be a negative for some, but sounds like an upgrade in space. The current offices do not feel like a company that is on the move.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in San Mateo, CA (took a day)
My Interview at Webroot was not a very tough one. It was for the QA and Testing Intern. So when I went for the interview the manager asked me how comfortable I was at coding and networking. So I said I was good at programming but not so good at networking. So he asked me some very simple algos like prime no and palindrome. Then he asked for some few very basic questions in programming, after that he proceeded to networking, the interviewer asked me about the difference between router and switch and the TCP layers and there functionality.
It was a pretty simple interview process. I guess because it was for a post of intern. Well they dont pay much infact very less. The next day i got an email that i have been selected and sent me the forms i need to fill.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 3 weeks)
The interview process was straightforward at Webroot. My only disappointment was that I didn't hear from the recruiter on a regular basis throughout the process, even though I was informed I was one of their top candidates. I actually learned I had not been selected for the position by visiting their website, even after multiple phone and in-person interviews. This left me with a poor impression, but I do not believe this translates to other departments in the company (especially those that impact customers, thankfully).
Overall, my experience with the people I interviewed with was very positive. The employees were kind, approachable, and intelligent. I did not think any of the questions were difficult, though I did get one question that seemed completely out of place as I was interviewing for a senior-level position. I was asked if I knew what job I was interviewing for, and I was instantly concerned I might be wasting my time.
There were a lot of positives though - applying is easy, and the recruiter (though somewhat of a poor communicator overall) was excellent at setting up interviews with the right people and answering questions up front. The work culture and environment seemed extremely fast-paced and fun. People seemed to enjoy their jobs, and appreciate the new management team in place. I met some of the top executives, and I was impressed.
Give Webroot a try!

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Fremont, CA (took a day)
I was recommended by an employee. The HR contacted me quickly and asked when is a suitable time for an on-site interview, and told me what the interview looks like. It's pretty a standard interview, a presentation plus 4 rounds of 1:1 interviews. The interviews are in average difficult level.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Mountain View, CA (took 3 weeks)
The interview process was very professional. I was contacted by the Worldwide Recruiter and she set up a phone interview with the Hiring Manager, after which I was invited for a 1:1 interview with the Hiring Manager within a week. After that, I was invited for a panel interview with 5 people (3 based in Colorado, the HQ of the company, and 2 in California), a mix of video conference and in-person interviews that lasted for a total of 4 hours with lunch included. The office in California is quite pleasant and in a convenient location, in a business park, accessible by car and also public transportation if desired. The personnel, including office staff, employees, and the Marketing and Product Management team, were friendly and warm. The interview process was pleasant and smooth. After the background check, I accepted the offer.
