The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Cloudera
Interview
Applied through Cloudera website and received a call from the recruiter a week later.
Took in a call with another TAM, then with the team's manager, then with a Systems Engineer, and then with an Account Executive. The nature of phone interviews was a mixture of technical (Java, Unix) and business oriented (situations with clients). I was called for an on-site interview and was asked to make a presentation on Hadoop.
On site:
The day started off with my presentation and there was a question asked on the demonstration. Then I had individual rounds with the director, Systems engineer, two account executives. The nature of the on-site interview was a bit similar to my phone screens, but we had conversations about architectural patterns in addition.
Finally received an offer after a call with Vice President of Sales.
All in all this was by far the most professional interview process per my experience.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cloudera in Jan 2015
Interview
Had initial screening calls with 2 recruiters. 3 other calls with a TAM, Sales Engineer and Account Executive. Onsite interview in Palo Alto lasted 4 hours with back to back interviews and the presentation at the end. I felt that this should have been 2 separate onsite interviews. I was exhausted for the presentation and did not perform as well as I normally do.
