The process took 3 days. I interviewed at FireEye (San Jose, CA) in Dec 2011
Interview
Contacted by an in-house recruiter who set up call from a director. Instead, the call came forty minutes past the scheduled time from an engineer who asked some typical/easy questions over about a half hour. The next day I got an unscheduled call from the director who spent a half hour selling the company to me and setup an in-house interview the next day. This consisted of:
* skills test -- multiple choice, where several questions had no correct answer listed
* 1:1s with four or five people ranging from other programmers through another director. All of this over three hours or so.
After this we shook hands and I was sent home. No further correspondence. I wrote a follow up email, and still nothing.
