I applied through other source. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Verizon (Palo Alto, CA) in Jul 2013
Interview
I was contacted by the internal recruiting team while I had already other opportunities at an advanced stage.
I had a short in person meeting with the hiring manager, then interviewed with the rest of the team, roughly 30 minutes each. I thought the interview went pretty well and the questions were all very easy and not particularly probing.
Given my situation (pending offers) the hiring manager promised feedback by the following day or Monday at the latest, then went dark. I pinged the internal recruiter a couple times saying that I had to either get feedback or drop out, and she politely asked me not to and that she would get the manager to reply to me soon.
On wednesday after more prodding, I receive a puzzling message saying that team enjoyed talking to me but that my experience was more focused on enterprise while they were looking for consumer (nobody looked at my resume?).
I'm going on a limb and assume that was either a bogus excuse to really say "you're not a fit" or "we are moving too slowly for you" but the whole process sounds like it was severely cripple from internal disorganization and approximation.

Interview
Completed three interview rounds, including a session with the full team. The process felt perfectly balanced—highly professional yet refreshingly informal. I really appreciated the transparent culture and welcoming team dynamic. Although, a little old school.
