Interviewed Jan 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)
Fairly straightforward technical interview. Absolutely NO behavior questions.
Interviewers were friendly but ill-prepared except for one who was well prepared but surly.
3 rounds of 1:1 interviews. Interviewer asked me to explain current project and interrupted to ask about possible enhancements. Typical "if you could change one thing what would it be" type questions.

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 2 weeks)
I interviewed for a contractor role there. The interview was really technical, in depth into whatever I had worked on so far. The interviewers were pleasant. The interview process was a bit slow. I cleared all the levels, but they wanted to hire as a fulltime employee. I was looking for contract position and hence the offer was not made.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Menlo Park, CA (took 5 days)
I had initial phone screening interview and then called for face to face. There were 3 rounds of interview. In the first round, interviewer asked about my experience and high level architecture of the project I worked. Then the 2nd interviewer asked some Perl question. In the 3rd round, they asked about DB design and C++ OOD questions.
The first 2 rounds were easy going and interviewer were friendly. Not much happy with the front desk (receptionist ) persons behaviour. She was busy with her own world (talking in cellphone) rather giving attention to the visitors.
Other Details
