I had a total of three interviews. One with the recruiter, one with the direct manager then one more with a panel of colleagues. They asked a series of questions about experience and what I was looking for in a role.

I applied online. I interviewed at Specialized Bicycle Components (Morgan Hill, CA) in Jun 2017
Interview
Long, drawn out process. Two phone interviews and 3 or 4 online quizzes to start. Went for an on-site interview. Full day of interviews, 6 back-to-back. HR was a bit disorganized through all of this. Everyone I spoke to was very nice.
The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Specialized Bicycle Components in Sept 2014
Interview
Applied twice over the course of several months and then recieved a email regarding a phone interview.
Standard applicable questions, not too stressful or difficult. Was told I would recieve a call back from the head of a dept, but never did. Followed up and was told the same thing, again never did. Finally on the third time I inquired I was told they went with another applicant.
I believe the position I interviewed for was a bit liquid, and not very defined. Also I neglected to discuss my salary expectations initally which may have put a sour taste in their mouth. All in all it was a decent experience. I must have misread the interviewer though because I thought they had liked me for the position.
