Entrevista
Was called by a recruiter and an interview was scheduled pretty quickly. The office at the time had a weird environment -- no one seemed to talk to one another in the break room.
One interviewer didn't understand the software I worked on no matter how simply I explained it to her. She didn't understand how a developers tool could conceivably have bugs.
The technical portion of the interview was hostile: two guys grilled me for about an hour and a half and would move from one question to the next. They gave me a coding question I couldn't figure and asked me supplemental questions that did not lead toward solving it -- I had the feeling they were expounding what I didn't know either to me or to each other.
The entire process took 5 hours during which I was given a 30 minutes for lunch which was not provided by the company.
Immediately on getting an offer, I was pressured to do a background check that asked for copies of paycheck stubs. I'm not sure if this is still a practice but I remember feeling fishy about it.

Entrevista
I was contacted through my StackOverflow Careers account by Flixster's head recruiter, and we set up an initial phone screen interview. During the phone screen I was asked a couple basic questions about my experience, and was told a bit about the company and interview process. Flixster has a bit of an involved process, with a phone screen, technical test/project over email, an inperson technical interview with multiple managers, and then another inperson interview with product managers and head engineers.
After passing the phone screen and email project, I was asked to come in for a technical interview. I was applying for a mobile development position, and was interviewed by the Android manager, iOS manager, web manager, and the lead recruiter I had talked to previously over the phone. Each asked me to describe my experience on my resume, and then asked me a variety of questions. I was asked things related to UI layout and design, puzzle questions, technical/whiteboarding questions, and describing how I solved problems in my previous projects. Each interviewer was very nice and intelligent, and made the interview process very easygoing. The questions they asked were a good challenge but not impossible, and they were very responsive to talking about the problem and bouncing your ideas off them. I had a lot of fun during the whole process and felt very positive about the whole day. The entire process took about 4 hours.
After passing the technical interview day, I was invited back for their second round. This consisted of me meeting a couple of the iOS team members, and they quizzed me a bit more on iOS/Objective-C specific questions. After that, I met with several product managers and the VP of Engineering (I believe was his title). They mostly asked me puzzle questions or asking how I dealt with the development cycle/working with product managers. I got the sense that this second round was very much a 'cultural fit' type of interview, and seeing if my mentality fit with what they were looking for in a candidate. I really enjoyed meeting with everyone that day, and it really showed that everyone at Flixster is very intelligent and self motivated.

I was asked many challenging questions, but none were impossible and I was able to answer all of them in about 15-20 minutes. They asked me not to post any of the questions here and I'm going to respect that, and will just say that if you are solid in your CS theory and know how to communicate in an interview environment you will do fine.
