I found the position via a job board, once I applied online and submitted all the required personal information, then I was called by the receptionist for a phone interview, I answered basic background and qualification questions. We then scheduled a phone interview. I answered more job specific technical questions. Then we scheduled a face to face interview where I talked with 4 managers.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Bangalore (India) (took 1+ week)
For Technical and manager round was good. But please be careful for HR round, because HR will influence you saying the Brand name as HP, and they will talk about lot of process and company policies. But in reality that is all fake. So just stick to your target.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Corvallis, OR (took a day)
I interviewed with my manager, the guy who I'd be replacing (he was retiring) and another manager.
I was mostly asked questions related to the job I'd be doing. The guy I was replacing asked my suggestion in how I'd implement software versioning in build code. I guess he liked my answer enough for me to get the job offer.
The hardest part of the interview was with the other manager. He asked some difficult behavioral-type questions. At this point, I don't remember what those questions were. But I got the job anyways.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I got a very satisfactory offer and didn't need to negotiate. Later I learned I was offered the maximum that HR would let him offer me, which made me feel very fortunate in that I got the job after the big 2008 economic crash.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.
