Interviewed Mar 2012 in Seattle, WA (took a day)
All questions were puzzle-type questions. Must know your algorithms well, specially the running times of each.
All asked questions can be found on this site already, but they grill you. They didn't allow me to finish an explanation and they kept interrupting with additional questions. Why this and not that.. etc. They want to see if you stick to your guns and can support your answers with facts. They want to see how you think, specially under stress.
Realized the position wasn't what I wanted during the interview, so my enthusiasm went down. Probably they noticed that so no offer.
Interview Questions
Write a reshuffling function for the deck of cards.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Seattle, WA (took a day)
There were four 1:1 interviews. Can't disclose the questions as they have had me signed a Non Disclosure Agreement. But the whole interview was coding. Was required to write various programs on white board. Mostly from Data Structures and some C programming questions. Need to able to write programs and that too in a very efficient time complexity.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Seattle, WA (took 4+ weeks)
Initially had a small preliminary interview at a job fair at UC San Diego. When I couldn't be scheduled into the on campus interviews they funneled me into the normal full time position interview process. I had two phone interviews and am waiting on a reply for either a third interview or to be flown up to Seattle.
