Interviewed Apr 2010 in Bangalore (India) (took 2 days)
1. A 40 minutes telephonic interview was done.
2. Was called for face2face interview after 2 days.
3. There were about 7 rounds of Technical Interviews(full day), each by a different person, one after another.
4. Of these only one interviewer actually asked me questions relating to my resume, all the 6 others had come prepared with some questions in their mind.
5. One interviewer asked me a puzzle, which i could not solve satisfactorily. That was the only question he asked, and
6. Another interviewer spent most of the time talking about what he does in the company.
7. One interviewer had come prepared with the standard algorithm related questions.
8. In the end a manager met me. He just asked some questions about what i do, and described the role at ariba.
9. After that a Recruitment girl from HR, met me and said their HR Manager was not available today, and they would call me later.
Did not hear from them again.
OBSERVATIONS
=============
1. Most of the interviewers did not bother to read the resume.
2. I felt cheated because interviewers concentrated only on their preset questions, not giving me an opportunity to demonstrate my skills and past experience.
3. There were questions around - writing Linked List program and search algorithms, and program to solve a puzzle.
4. There were almost no questions about J2EE itself or even core java.
5. It appeared that most of the work they do was maintenance kind, infact they referred to something called a Bug Fest often. My impression was that there was not much for any developer to learn here.
6. The recruitment girl clearly lied when she said that HR Manager was not available that day. The hidden message obviously was - go home now - we don't like you.
Interview Questions
Write a program to use the Linked List to implement a Stack in Java.
Write a program to print all permutations and combinations of possible words from a given String (no use of any libraries or apis) in java eg: For String abc, result should be a, ab, ac, bc, ba, ca, cb, acb, cba, bac, bca etc.input string can be of any length.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
The interview with Ariba was a pleasant experience. It consisted of 4 technical rounds of 1 hour each. Each interview was challenging as well as exciting. The interviewers were very interesting people and I wanted to work with every one of them after the interview. You could see they cared for their product and they excited you with their energy.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 5 days)
I was first contacted by an outside recruiter. He gathered all the information needed and told me that I don't need to have hands on Java experience and passed on the feedback to internal recruiter.
The internal guy promptly contacted me and also stressed that I don't need to be currently working on Java technologies in my current job and don't need to have recent Java experience. Everything went well, then get to talk to the hiring manager for almost 10-15 minutes...generally about what I have been doing at my current job...that's it. Then 2 days later, I get a call that they talked to the team and decided to rewrite the Req and it now requires a solid Java background. Really?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why did you waste my time? I was not even looking for a job when your freelance recruiter contacted me out of the blue. Anyway, things happen....you know what I mean!!!!

After several phone interviews they decided to go with another individual for the position, frustrating because although there were 3 phone interviews I never got a face to face interview.
