Interviewed Dec 2010 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
It was walk in type on an invitation basis. I was short listed for the walk in. Initially I showed up assuming there was only one interview. After the first one, they asked me to stay back for another round. Then as the day progressed I realized that I'm going to be there for the entire day. The interviewers were a mix of technical people and senior management.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Hillsboro, OR (took 2 weeks)
I applied for two jobs online. Their HR office is in CA so the CA recruiter contacted me for a phone screening within a week. She was pleased I seemed to fit with the culture. Within another day I had a 1-on-1 phone interview with the CA hiring trainer. It was clear in the phone interviews they were attempting to find out if I was the right fit.
In another couple of days I was asked to complete the application and had a panel interview with the CA hiring trainer by video and the Hillsboro team in their office. This interview was about my experience and how it related to the job directly.
I was asked to bring writing examples of courses, which were evaluated in the panel interview in about 10 minutes of our time. The team indicated that they do a lot of project work involving heavy deadlines and late nights at times. The OR and CA teams work closely together.
The customer service and sales departments are in the Hillsboro, OR office. They believe in having fun together, and they have many events to build morale. The Hillsboro office is only 1/2 a block from the Max train line, so it would be easy to commute via the train and avoid the bad traffic in the area. They are next to Intel plus other high tech firms that have a bad rush hour. Yes, they are very into purple. Dress code for the interview is casual business.
Note on the application, my only option was to fax it in. I paid $8.50 at a local store for the fax, so if you can figure out how to do it cheaper, I'd suggest you do.

Interviewed May 2011 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 1 week)
I first received an email regarding my application and informing me that I was scheduled later that week for two phone interviews back to back. Both of these were very standard interviews just going over basic facts about the company, questions about my interests in the company, interests in finance etc. The next day I got an email saying I was scheduled for an on campus interview the next week at their Sunnyvale location. It was a full day of interviewing starting at 11 and ending at 3:30 in the afternoon. There were about 10 other candidates and we began by going up and getting an overview/orientation about the day from HR where we were sitting in a conference room and learning about what we would be doing. Then we ate lunch with one of the finance execs and a few recent graduates who had also been interns at one point and who talked to us about the interview process and tried to make us feel comfortable. Then we were each set up with our first of four interviewers and we walked to a conference room where we would sit all day through four interviews. The first was a case study, pretty straightforward but kind of difficult if you aren't expecting to answer those kinds of questions, it was my first case study interview. Then the next interview was behavioral, and the last two were both just going over my resume and experience, situational type interviewing. Each of the four interviews lasted about half an hour. Everyone was very nice and friendly, not an intimidating interview process, most interviews turned into conversations easily. I received a call about my offer about 2 days later and then a packet in the mail with all the information the next day. I was given three weeks to accept my offer. Out of the ten or eleven candidates I interviewed with, 2 others got offers and accepted them.

Interviewed May 2010 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 3 weeks)
Phone screen with the director for the team to which I was interviewing. Went well, we talked about my background and skills, what I was looking for, and what they were trying to accomplish. The onsite portion consisted of several hour-long interviews, including an hour for lunch. They questions were fairly easy, in the general vein of problem solving, design patterns, distributed computing, and programming questions.
