I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Voicebox Technologies
Interview
Received an interview request. Initial (video) interview with the hiring manager was very pleasant. Several weeks later, I went to interview with the rest of the team.
This interview was extremely technical, and had a much higher bar than I anticipated. I did my due diligence researching the company and learning about the technology. The majority of the 4 hours was spent answering programming questions on a whiteboard.
Some were simple, but most were pretty challenging.

Other Software Engineer Interview Reviews for Voicebox Technologies
I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Voicebox Technologies (Bellevue, WA) in May 2008
Interview
One of the most difficult and unpleasant experiences. First a phone interview, then a long written coding test, which I did very well. The CEO went over the paper with me once I was done and was very pleased.
After this a whole bunch of interviews in person. I admit I screwed up bigtime on some of them, hadn't had enough sleep, I guess. But the first interview was miserable. There was this speech scientist guy who was literally laughing on my face as I tried to think through a problem. The day ended with the last set of interviewers being semi-drunk because it was a Friday and they'd just had an unwinder.
Questions ranged from Fibonacci number generation and optimization to other algorithm problems using has tables for optimization, to regex interpretation to Backtracking concept in algorithms and dynamic programming.
