Interviewed Apr 2012 (took 1+ week)
They sent you the Linguistic Test File (400 words of translation) and was told that they would send you the test review/feedback after. However, I've never received any feedback. When I followed up with them, I got a response saying that they do not have an appropriate position open at this time. ...

Brief phone interview, then came in for a long series of interviews with many members of the team. Everyone was very friendly and really enjoyed talking about what they do.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Redwood City, CA (took 1 week)
As with any company, my application was originally screened by the HR, followed by a Skype video call with the Hiring Manager and eventually I was called in for a personal interview with 4 people including the hiring manager. I was asked lots of situational questions.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
There was no phone screening. I was asked to come in person for an onsite interview. They did not review any of the job responsibilities. They brought me in simply to run through analysis exercises to get free consulting. They did not ask me any questions about my background, experience or skills.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Redwood City, CA (took 2 weeks)
Had 2 rounds of interviews - one with a colleague and other with the head of the group. Evaluation consisted of industry experience, trends and a couple of cases relevant to the work. Team is focussed on the right fit - combination of right personality, smarts and the ability to roll up sleeves and get things done.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
The interview process is quite weird here. The questions were mostly around data modeling even though the position was not around it. A very weird thing was about asking me to take a written test on some logical and analytical questions. These were in the GRE/GMAT format and were not hard.
