The interview consisted of four main parts. Being interviewed by a Senior Software Developer was the opening. The interview then progressed into a 1 hour programming test, which tested knowledge on multiple concepts and intricacies. Thirdly, the actual manager came in and provided some interesting metaphors into the professional work life. Fourth, was interviewed by a panel of 3 others.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 3 weeks)
I was initially contacted by a Human Resources representative who asked questions regarding my personality. I'm guessing this was just to check and see if I was even worth their time.
After this initial phone interview I went in for an interview which consisted of a 1:1 interview with 6 different people, at the end of these interviews I was given an hour long written test to test my technical knowledge.
