Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 weeks)
They telephoned me to come in for several face to face interviews. I had interviewed with two managers and a director of the group. They mainly focused on behavioral questions and it was important to be able to deliver what you want out of the job and if your personality fit with what they are looking for.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in San Diego, CA (took 3 weeks)
Very intensive, consisted of 9 back-to-back interviews with team members from multiple disciplines including R&D, Design, and Marketing. Initial conversations via phone and over coffee were very casual. On-site interviews were friend, but exhaustive. They knew what they were getting if they hired me, before the made the offer.
HP is very collaborative, they are seeking out people with conviction and leadership skills. They wanted someone who could hit the ground running. Probed on relevant experiences and approach to job.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Palo Alto, CA (took 2 months)
- 2 phone screens
- 3 in person interviews
Reasonably structured process, interviewed with team; offer decision was made within a week and communicated. Interviews were typical with some behavioral and personal questions. Seemed to depend quite a bit on how much you got along with the interviewer. Offer letter received within another week with 2 weeks to make decision.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 2 weeks)
I had initial screening discussions with a search firm using phone and webex then progressed to a detailed discussion with the hiring manager via phone. The approach was professional and clear. Follow-up was lacking though. I decided the opportunity was not one to progress.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Palo Alto, CA (took 2+ weeks)
Screening into the process was the most difficult part, but that was likely based on the recruiter. It was a panel to begin with, consisting of a wide range of "tell me about a project..." questions. Very rapid-fire, trying to test through generic answers and into something more substantive.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
There was definitely room to negotiate. There are many facets of the offer that won't be able to be negotiated due to the byzantine processes left in wake of previous bad management, but in today's world that's mostly changed.

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took 1 week)
Spoke with the internal recruiter and he explained the position to me. Then my resume was given to the hiring manager who then called me to set up the interview. It was initially supposed to be a 1:1 but turned into a 2:1, which is fine. The interview was scheduled for 30 minutes and after 70 minutes, we called it done. The team was engaging, asked great questions, allowed me to ask questions and we started our working relationship right there.
