I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at New York Times (New York, NY) in Mar 2012
Interview
HR took forever. Interview was with three different people for half an hour each (very precisely, actually). First got a sense of interests and personality, second moved on to questions pertaining to NYTimes web services, third put algorithms question on the board to do. They definitely asked a good deal of questions that they didn't expect a good answer to, but simply to see how one would field the question. (Difficult considering that the questions weren't unreasonsable, just unexpected - and they seemed to know it when they asked.)

Application
I applied online. I interviewed at New York Times (New York, NY)
Interview
Took a long time to review the applications as they do it by hand and I had pretty good time interviewing. It was a recruiter screen call, then a hiring manager call, then a panel of engineers asking you technical questions and diving deep on your projects.
Good very good it is my best interview I had. I really really really really like the interview process. The interviewer is friendly and the HR is very good. God bless me
