Interviewed Nov 2011 in New York, NY (took 4 weeks)

I had an on campus interview first and then have an on site interview.
On campus interview includes resume questions, behavioral questions and one coding test.
On site interview has four one-one interviews. The interviewers ask me data structure, basic c++ and java knowledge, system design and brain teaser questions.
Most questions are not difficult, but I also missed several questions.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)

On campus interview was first. Interviews are short (30 minutes or less) since the interviewer is trying to see many people in one day.

In person interview occurs on same day with several other candidates. All the candidates start in the same room and get an overview presentation from HR.

Next, you spend about 45 minutes in a 1:1 interview with four or five people. Interviewers generally do a good job of trying to put you at ease, and they realize you may be nervous.

These interviews are very technical. Topics covered include algorithms and data structures, Java, SQL, relational database design, OO design, etc. They also ask basic finance questions, and expect the candidate to know something about the company.
