Interviewed Jan 2012 in Plano, TX (took 2 days)
First day I received call from recruiter to make sure I understood job description and agreed with it - questions involving travel, salary, whether I met all qualifications. Recruiter then contacted me with time for phone interview with Manager. Manager interview consisted of questions that challenged what was listed on my resume - design, operating system, applications. Recruiter then contacted me with date/time for onsite interview. Second day I went on site and had interview with a senior engineer, director, and HR representative. Questions ranged from technical (same as manager above), managerial, and personality questions (what would I do if this happened, why did I choose to apply for a job there, etc.). Then I was told more about the position, the vision of the project and company, and what I would expect if I were hired. Then a reconfirmation of my salary requirements, any restrictions, and start date if I were to be made an offer.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Plano, TX (took 2+ weeks)
Once I was contacted by the recruiter for the staffing company, things went very quickly, the interview over the phone with them went fine and I got a good feeling. I was set up for an interview/presentation with Ericsson's training department mgr. The manager and two instructors that were in town were my audience for the presentation. Very low key interview by all. I left with a good sense that I would be hired. The next few days were a little hectic for them and they didn't get back to me or the staffing company due to a death of one of their employees in the group. Once we understood the problem was not one of dragging their feet. I was willing to wait. They got back to me, offered me the position and I had to go through the usual pre-employment stuff. I was offered a 1 year contract , which, as of yesterday , expired and was not extended due to hiring college grads to take over technical training.

A very good hourly rate. Since there was a good deal of travel involved, the rate was door to door on travel days. a good per diem/meal allowance when on the road helped too.

Interviewed May 2011 in Plano, TX (took 3 weeks)
Ericsson is a great company to work for. I had multiple phone interviews since they wanted to find the right fit for you. After that I was called for an onsite interview where I was again interviewed by 4 different people including the HR. All the interviews were behavioral interviews and some included technical questions.
The people are really nice and will make you comfortable. However, the HR are a bit unorganized and communicated details at the last moment or don't communicate details at all.

HR is unorganized. You get handed-off from one recruiter to another and they don't inform you what's going on without being asked because they all think someone else is keeping you up to date.
Overall, a miserable interview process, but great company to work for.
