Interviewed Apr 2007 in Madrid (took 2 weeks)
It was in fact a very interesting process. I have been interviewed by 6 people from the different departments. Eeach one asked about why I should be the person from the point of view to its department. I suggest you to enter into the Web, to analyze the product, to see for the competitors, to analyze why you fit in the role and what is your added value

Interviewed Mar 2008 in Santa Clara, CA (took 2 days)
Questions weren't too hard, all solvable with given time. People were friendly. Study algorithms, C/C++ coding, and math proofs. Study a lot of sample interviews online, especially acetheinterview.com and careercup.com. These sites have user inputted real interview questions that can help you. Also study brain teasers.

Interviewed Dec 2008 in San Jose, CA (took 4 weeks)
Upon notification that I would be interviewing, I was surprised to have no contact with the business unit itself. only that of the person whom I'd discussed to opportunity with as a consultant. It appeared at first that the position was slightly unstructured, whether it be the culture of the organization, the department, or the group requesting a new hire; I could not tell. Most important feature of the interview was the face to face discussion of experience, adaptability, general work ethic, and how I found my skill set could function in an uncharted and defined position. The most difficult part of the process was the uncertainty with the economy. As I saw it, the function of the position was not set in stone, but it was needed to compliment and enhance the current team and reduce the excess work load that received little attention without having a new hire to fill the void. The 2 face to face interviews with direct supervisors was in one sit down, while a third would be by phone later. The people team in general seemed eager to hit the ground running, get feedback on how a candidate saw the position being utilized and I was shocked that ideas were directly requested as if I had been a piece of the team already. In many situations that would make me wary of divulging my value without ensuring my future hired status, but unlike those same situations from other positions, I felt a sense of innovation and a collaborative culture that may have been only that department, but I LIKED IT! I found myself being more and more excited about the position as I was interviewed and even as the market fell, and hiring slowed, I was persistant and it paid off when I began 3 months later!
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
It was during a time when the economy began to slip that I first was explained the potential package and I had expected 3 months later for it to be reassessed, or for the budget of the team to be somehow changed with a new year starting. Upon negotiation, I was pleased to see that my worth was not based on a broken stock market, it was based on the same principles of value set apart before things went south. I was pleased to see that retaining talent was more important than cost effective, settling for someone else displaying more mediocrity.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Feb 2007 in San Jose, CA (took a day)
I applied through the university's career website, and was interviewed on campus. The interview was 30 minutes long, and it was mainly him trying to find out my personality. He didn't ask ANY technical questions, and more than half the time he was answering the questions I asked about Cisco. So my advice would be to have many questions in mind before going for an interview, and also just to be safe, be ready to talk about your any class projects (in detail) you have worked on.

To be accepted into the ASR program it consisted of a phone interview with a recruiter and maybe another person. After that step, you were flown out to their RTP, NC campus for 1 1/2 day of interview. They also did a general orientation of the program and a panel discussion with current and previous ASR's. The next set of interview was in a conference room of 5 interview tables. Each table had 2 interviewer and prior into going into the room, you were given your table assignments. Each interview round consisted of 30 mins and there were 3 rounds of interviews. You were then flown back to your respective homes and then offer letter were sent out about a week later.
