Interview consisted first of phone interview with recruiter and then with hiring manager. Panel interview followed. Three sets of 1:1 interviews which included skills test. Work culture appeared to be positive. Persons interviewing were knowledgable and personable. No questions were out of the ordinary or non-applicable to the position.
From the time of the initial application to start date was almost 5 months. Interview process took approximately 3 months.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Longmont, CO (took a day)
Received call from recruiter who asked a few basic questions. Told to expect call in a few days for next steps if I was going to be considered for an interview.
About five days later got a call to schedule interview for the following week.
I got sick before the interview. They scheduled me for the last available interview slot/day to give me more time to recover.
Interview was mostly one-on-one. Four different interviewers, one each hour with two together in one hour.
I thought I did well in the interview, but later realized I did not "sell" my benefits to the company in a proactive way.
Received call about a week later telling me I did not get the position.
