I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NetApp (Sunnyvale, CA) in Apr 2010
Interview
I was referred for this job, so the interviewing process happened quite fast.
Initial telephonic screen where I was asked some system questions - virtual memory, CPU affinity etc., followed by on-site interviews.
There were 5-6 technical interviews followed by HR followup.
Questions included items on my past experience, virtualization technologies etc.
Had to do basic DB design, some quirky C++ knowledge questions, how to detect glitches in network communication etc. and the manager asked behavioral questions.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at NetApp in Sept 2018
Interview
This was for a MTS-4 for a distributed computing product.
First was a phone round, after I cleared that, got an onsite interview.
Folks were on time, the interviewers were pretty young, less than my experience. Asked pretty usual questions, but I got a feeling that they were clueless how to judge me.
However, except for the lunch interview (the guy was just odd, with absolutely no clue about distributed computing knowledge), everything went well.
However, the HR was surprisingly lax about interview feedback.

Interview
1 telephonic interview, got the result back on the same day.
On-site interview consisted of 3 technical rounds related to Operating System, Data structures and algorithms. The final interview was with the hiring manager which was a general discussion on past experience and some puzzles.
Overall the interview process was very smooth and the offer came within a week. People during interview process were cordial and helpful.
