Interviewed Oct 2011 in Minneapolis, MN (took a day)
I was interviewed by an older hiring manager. The only thing resembling a technical interview was him asking me to rate myself on various programming languages. He then spent the rest of the time talking about how he was overbooked for the day and that he had lunch in my hometown once.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
We had a written round which included both aptitude and technical questions. After written round shortlisted members were called for interview. IT included 1 technical and 2 HR rounds. In technical they asked general questions and asked some puzzles. The 2 HR rounds were just a general talk in which they test our confidence level and our personality.

Interviewed Sep 2008 (took 2 weeks)
There was an initial screening. This was a phone screen. General questions were asked based on my resume such as to list an experience where something went wrong , an experience where I demonstrated exceptional ability I am proud of and so on.
Heard back from them in about a week and onsite interviews were scheduled. There were 3 1:1 sessions onsite and I met the manager of the team alongside the members for a group chat. The interviews were straightforward and easy. Heard back from them 2 days later

Interviewed Sep 2008 in Round Rock, TX (took 2 weeks)
I received a call for a phone screen 3-days after posting to a position. The manager did a skills interview and a review of the position. A week later a group interview was scheduled. First couple of interviewers were standard, with no goofy questions. The third interviewer was from another department that had absolutely no involvement with the group I was interviewing for, and he had no questions for me. I questioned him about his position and how this group would help his group, but he had no feedback. We spoke about the company culture and wrapped up the whole thing in 10 minutes. The third person would have been a peer. His stated concern was that this position was created to eliminate other positions in the department.
