Interviewed Aug 2010 in Denver, CO (took 4 weeks)
The recruiter contacted me twice before scheduling an interview to discuss my qualifications and salary. The recruiter was very professional and friendly. However, the hiring manager demonstrated a lack of respect, patience, and tolerance before, during, and after the interview.

They are very nice.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took 3 days)
The first interview was via phone. I believe the top 5 to 10 resumes were selected and then phone interviewed. From there 2 were selected for face to face interview. I was required to explain what I saw on engineering drawing of a power plant.
