Interviewed Dec 2011 in Plano, TX (took a day)
I was disappointed with the interviewer. The call came in from Mexico and I could barely understand the lady. The interview questions were about Java and they were only definition questions. If you are about to apply, brush up on basic Java definitions.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 2 months)
2 face to face and 1 final phone interview. HR qualify final round by checking with reference. Expecting HR to highlight the benefits and shortfall with ex-company. Unfortunately, it wasn't per expectation. Questions were asked such as the current but will not highlight in the event is less than current. Such as leaves entitlement.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 2 weeks)
This was an interview for an internal position, open only to current employees. Consisted of five 30 minute phone calls, each with 6-10 questions. The focus was to understand my background (qualify me), gauge my interest (would I accept), transition time considerations and job expectations.
In every case the call started 2-10 minutes late, one of them was rescheduled 3 times
In every case the interviews ran long into the next time
In every case the interviewer used up all but the last minute or two
In every case I was forced to type out my questions to get feedback because additional time later was not available.
The hiring manager told me I made the short list to be one of two candidates but once he decided, I did not get a phone call with the bad news, instead he sent me a late night 'bad news' email. That one still stings a little.
Sample Questions:
1) Have you ever been asked to do anything by a manager you know to be an incorrect approach (not illegal) and what did you do about it?
2) When you are asked to complete a task in what you know is an impossible timeline, what do you do?
3) Describe your personal style for getting your work done and is that style different when collaborating, why?
4) What was your greatest disappointment at HP and how did you deal with it?
5) How quickly can you cut the ties to your current job and start this job if you are selected.
6) Would you consider moving yourself to Houston to make yourself a better internal candidate?
If internal candidates experience this kind of treatment, this total lack of calendar integrity or consideration for the candidate, I can only imagine how new hire candidates must view this company.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Ottawa, ON (Canada) (took a day)
emailed to confirm to to set up phone interview, interviewed by 3 people on phone, 2 tech and one hr.
It was mainly one tech guy driving the conversation/questions.
Reason for Declining
The position was not my fit, I did not want to work with legacy technology and also position was posted with team lead requirements and would lead but in fact was more of a developer position.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Sydney (Australia) (took a day)
I had an initial informal meeting with the hiring manager, who then asked me back for a formal interview with his manager.
After this, I then had to take an apptitude test and some written response questions asking how I would deal with certain circumstances, eg, project issues, missed deadlines etc.
From first contact to receiving an offer was about 4 weeks, then I started at the company 4 weeks after that.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Salary was not really negotiable. I requested an amount, which was declined, saying that offer was for a fixed salary, subject to review. This 'review' never happened though.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test, a Personality Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 2+ weeks)
Phone interview with hiring manager as well as 3 peers to the role for which I was being interviewed. Each interview lasted about an hour. Process was straightforward. Offered job over the phone without meeting anyone face to face, which is strange for some but not unusual for a remote/virtual role. Also, I had the benefit of being heavily recommended within the group.

Negotiation Details
Simple. Little flexibility on salary but good flexibility on sign-on bonus.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 3 days)
Phone interview consists of 2 algorithms. Both were easy but slightly tricky too. First was, to find the
maximum sum sub-array in an array. Second was to find loop in a linked list. Then, face to face
interview covered the my previous projects discussion and couple of easy C codes.
