I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Columbia Sportswear (Portland, OR) in May 2012
Interview
The interview process was pretty straightforward. The first phone screen included questions about Java, more related to structure(arrays, hast tables etc). Was not asked to code or pseudo code anything. This was for a an entry level role. In the in person the same technical questions were asked for the first half. The second half was used to understand more of your personality and work ethic.

Thoughtful questions and an overall pleasant conversation during the interview process. There were a few awkward moments where they didn't seem to have their notes correct about my resume, but would still rate the experience as posiitive
