I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Palo Alto Networks (Palo Alto, CA) in Mar 2012
Interview
There was an initial phone screening and then in-person interviews. The first day I interviewed with 3 different 4-6 person panels, in a room that did not have air conditioning. 2 of the panels contained the kind of people you hate to interview with for technical roles - the kind of people who view interviews as a way to prove they are smarter than you are and want you to know it. It was pretty bad. One panel was filled with more normal people whose questions were a lot more reasonable and personalities were much better. The second time they brought me back was to interview with the director and VP, talked salary and stock requirements with HR. Was not ultimately offered the position, so I didn't understand why they asked me take another day off to interview with director/VP and talk salary/stock requirements.

Usually they have two rounds, Interview and written skill test to see if a person best fits either for content writing or support calls, if one does the best in the first they usually hire them for the support where a employee takes calls from customers who are partners and network engineers and help them resolve their issues.
