The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Appirio (San Mateo, CA) in May 2011
Interview
Was contacted by a recruiter who put me in touch with consulting lead. Phone screen, 3 phone interviews put me into the final round of 4 in face interviews during 1 day at HQ. Interview process took several months, but part of that was due to my availability.
Bottom line, don't try to BS, these people are smart, they'll sniff it out if you aren't genuine. The company is growing like mad but they aren't going to sacrifice quality for a warm body.
