The interview was very comprehensively focused on Networking Knowledge. The interviewer asked questions regarding TCP/IP and some operating system concepts. It lasted about 1 hour and the interviewer was very kindly detailed aspects of the job profile and even offered pros and cons if I take the offer.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Cambridge, East of England, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
The interview occurred with a director and a manager. I was asked to talk about myself, look at some code and make some UML-type stuff. They already knew me to a certain extent as I was coming from a different part in the company.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Bangalore (India) (took 1 week)
I got a call from a external recruitment agency. They described the role and asked for my interest. Once I informed them that i was interested in the role, they sent me a detailed job profile over email. I had a few clarification to be made, post which they scheduled my first round of interview. It was a technical interview and was scheduled at thier Bangalore MG Road Office. The interviewer did not appear impressive from either an appearance standpoint or from a communication standpoint. However, his technical knowledge was really good and hence the questions asked were fairly smart and complex. The interview went on for about an hour and they focused on my strengths and tried to probe more on those areas. There was no rush to finish the interview and they did not subject me to much of stress during the interview. The interviewer was very encouraging and was letting me take my own time to answer his questions. There were 2-3 technical rounds after that all of them were very well managed and covered different technical areas and the depth kept on increasing with every interview. Post this I had a Manager Round, followed by a Director Round. The manager round lasted for about 30 minutes and they were trying to understand what my previous role and experiences were like. They also focused on my career aspirations and expectations. Was done more like a discussion rather than an interview. The Director round more so seemed like a formality and was done in 10 mins. Everyone seemed to dressed in casuals and the work culture looked very relaxed. There was nothing formal about the place or people out there and this seemed to be the same across all levels. THis sent out a very positive and nice feeler about the place. Overall, the interviews went on well and i was happy with the interview process. I was offered the role within 1 week of the initial interview
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
The offer they made was not upto my satisfaction. This was despite the fact that i had made my expectations very clear at the very beginning of the interview process and then during the manager round. Then i had to negotiate a few times to get it close where i wanted it to be. I heard the same from everyone that i spoke to. They offer and then wait for the candidate to negotiate, which i feel is not the best approach for a company of this stature.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Staffing Agency and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Mar 2012 (took 7 weeks)
Applied online and received a phone call week later . Nothing special just general pre-screening interview .
Next interview was 1.5 weeks later with one of the team members - it was less technical ,more general discussion. One week later i had another phone interview with a panel of 4 participants al ot of technical questions but nothing special standard product related questions and one more interview with the team leader . Two weeks latter i had another interview more like a discussion . Job offer was discussed over the phone and was 20-35% lower than offers received from other companies .

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Bangalore (India) (took 2+ weeks)
It started with couple of telephonic rounds including one with the hiring manager. Once shortlisted from initial telephonic rounds, they offered me to come down to their facility and then there were couple of technical interviews (almost the same questions asked during telephonic) followed by a interview-cum-discussion with hiring manager (in my case there were two of them) and finally had a discussion with director (group manager) about the role, responsibility and expectations. The last round was an HR where they discussed about past company, future plan, reason for change and expectations from job (pay, work etc).

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 weeks)
The process starts with an initial phone interview to judge your basic technical knowledge, if successful you will be invited to an interview at a Citrix offer. This will consist of a couple of 1:1 business and HR interviews and a technical interview. If successfull you will then have a final telephone interview with HR department which when complete will lead to an offer. (My understanding is that if one of the interviewers does not like you then an offer will not be made.)
This is a tough interview but it is fair and a pleasent change from the average box ticking of other employers.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Had 2 phone screens. First one with hiring manager went very well. Very nice interviewer, very relaxed atmosphere. Some questions about background, C++, multi-threading, reference counting, design question. Next round was coding question to write few function for custom bitmap class such as scale down bitmap using color approximation. Nice interview experience but unfortunately the recruiter never got back to me.
