I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Levi, Ray and Shoup (Springfield, IL) in Apr 2009
Interview
The interview was for a telecommute software developer position. It consisted of two phone interviews. The first was technically oriented and the second was culture/fit oriented. After those, an all day on-site interview was arranged. It consisted of two group interviews. Both were mostly white-board problems with limited technical discussions. Several of the white-board problems were too large to be used in the 15-20 minutes allocated in the interview. This was followed by a HR presentation and a tour of the facilities.
In my opinion, thinking outside of the box was not a skill that was appreciated by LRS. They were looking for people that thought about and solved problems in the same way as the rest of the people on the team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
White-board a game that is similar to the 'Set' card game. Find all of the sets in a nine card layout. Each card had one of 4 shapes in one of 3 colors with one of 3 fill patterns. Fine all 3 card sets where one attribute is the same or all attributes are different.

Interview
phone interview was mediocre, in-person interview with division management was worse - poorly prepared, vague questions, an attitude of "I'm too busy for this." There was a lack of follow-up, and poor communication in the entire process

Interview
They really just wanted to know what kind of experience I had. Super friendly guys, just asked what languages I have worked with and also what kind of projects I'd worked on.
