I interviewed for a role on the website UI team in spring of 2013. I thought the interview process was one of the best I have experienced. My would-be manager initially reached out to me (not a recruiter) and we had a few nice phone conversations about what they were looking for. They flew me out for a two day interview. If they know it isn't a fit on the first day, they don't have you come back for the second.

I met with 3 developers, a hiring specialist and a development manager on the first day and they asked very domain-relevant questions within my area of expertise. No silly programmer brain teasers. I had plenty of time to ask questions of my own.

On day two I met with non-developers. Business, designers/UX, etc. I was able to get a very good idea of the people I would be working with and the types of problems I would be solving.

I ended up deciding to take another offer, but it was a very positive experience overall. I didn't encounter any jerks like some others have.
