Interviewed Feb 2009 in Bellevue, WA (took 9 months)
I consider the 9 month contract I did as part of the "interview" as there's limitations as to what can really be discovered in a few hours of interview, compared to what's discovered about working with a person.
I had 1:1 and several people at a time for the interview when I interviewed for the contract position, where it was stated by the recruiting firm that they'd like to be able to convert someone, but such conversion was not a promise. After the contract was finished, I was interviewed by 2 managers that would be my manager and his direct report in the QA department: before being extended the full-time offer, I was on the chart under the regular developers, as I was working embedded with them.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Burbank, CA (took a day)
Interviews are quite technical, tele interview followed by on-site (at least 5 people). Good place to work with lots of benefits, however due to recession, company has not been very generous. no complains though.
Interview is really really technical, so make sure you know your subject well.
Good Luck!

Interviewed Jan 2007 (took 1 week)
Initial communication was through HR. HR did a first round of screening with some template questions on my background. Next phone screen was with the hiring manager. The conversation was technical/problem solving leading to solving hypothetical problems, trying to gauge how I thought "out of the box".
In person interviews consisted of 6-7 folks ranging from technical questions, problem solving on the board, designing solutions, coding problems as well as personality fit.
The follow up call from HR was in 2 days with an offer.
