Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 1+ week)
5 phone screens that probed the depth/breadth of my work experience as well as more pragmatic, hands on questions (e.g., how I would handle job situations, approach a special project assignment, mentor/manage others) to test my leadership skills, problem solving ability, critical thinking,etc. I gound the interviewers to be cordial and respectful (unusual for the economic times and the fact that I was unemployed at the time).
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Very smooth. Process went so quickly, the HR recruiter had to be more specific that they were not asking general questions about my compensation history or expectations, rather what it was going to take to bring me on. There was minimal flexibility on starting compensation (e.g., tradeoffs between base and incentive compensation) but, otherwise, everything else (e.g., vacation times, benefits, etc) was non negotiable.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Background Check and a Phone Interview.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Kansas City, MO (took 5 weeks)
The interview process was long, detailed, and comprehensive. I was interviewing for a newly forming team and CA needed to be certain they were getting the correct piece for the group. There were multiple phases of the interview process with varying lengths of time between each interview. 1. Phone interview with the team leader - This was a general, overarching technical and personal interview. 2. Phone interview with expert in my field - A technical representative within CA. 3. Phone interview with senior member of the team - non technical but directed toward team dynamics and directions 4. Phone interview with Vice President of the group. Personality and determining fit within the larger picture. 5. Flown out for face to face interview with Vice President and Senior team member. - Final determination of fit for team and to discuss roles in more detail. 6. Interview with Senior Vice President - An open connection to CA at a different level.
The process was long and thorough. They did due diligence in putting together the team.
Negotiation Details
The offer was very fair and favorable. The offer was as stated and there was not room for negotiating.

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 2 days)
Intitial phone screen followed by an 1 on 1 interview. Afterwards another date was scheduled for a round of interviews. Questions, mostly related to software sales revenue recognition, deferred revenue and capitalized software development. Other business related questions related to what I new about CA and the latest industry trends. They did spend a fair amount of time talking about team work and wanted to know about projects that I had collaborated on in the past.
