Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 days)
I had one on-campus interview with a recruiter, who asked me questions concerning what aspect of computer science I wanted to work with. The second interview lasted half a day. I had three 30 minute 1:1 interviews and in between said interviews, I mingled with other applicants, who also had one on-campus interview. After the last interview, I was taken out to lunch with a current employee and two other applicants.
During the day interview, I had the opportunity to meet a lot of current employees. They all seemed very friendly and had volunteered to mingle with us, so they clearly enjoyed their jobs and were interested in meeting the future employees. All of the interviews were more like regular conversations you might have with someone who wanted to get to know you. They asked about previous projects I had been involved in, but it felt like a conversation for the most part.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Seattle, WA (took a day)
The interview process occurred on campus and was 1/2 hour long. All of the questions were very basic. Things like "describe a time you worked in team and there was an issue that arose". Pretty much the standard questions.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 3 days)
The interview process is standard, two phone screens and one face to face. The interview questions are moderate, unlike other company which asked questions that make no sense. The interviewers are very patients and nice to talk with. One catch is that, the recruiter might be pushy and neglected to let you know how the interview process is. You have to ask him. Otherwise, he just scheduled an interview with no agenda.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Dallas, TX (took 2 weeks)
I submitted my resume at the career fair at my university. It took a few weeks to hear back from them since their deadline to submit applications online was a little later. My first interview was a 1:1 interview with a senior manager from the info session the night before. The interview was very conversational and relaxed. A week or so later I heard back that I had been offered to come out for a second interview. The second part of the process was a little different. The first night (night before the interview) there was a dinner at a very nice restaurant with execs and new hires. The dinner was informal but you should still be on your toes during the entire night. Act as if every conversation is a small interview. The day of the interview, we were given a small tour of the floor that Hitachi has in one of the buildings in Dallas. Their area was very nice and modern looking. After the tour, we sat in a meeting room and were fed info about the company and their benefits (which are GREAT)! Then it was time for interviews!!! The first interview was 1:1 and again very conversational. Then there was lunch with new hires. A second interview followed lunch along with a panel discussion and a group case study. The group case study was very relaxed. Just make sure you participate and have fun. Overall, it was a great experience! I loved it! The people were GREAT!
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I tried negotiating my salary to start and that was declined to keep the consistency amongst the new hires. If I were you, I would try anyway. I then negotiated for relocation/signing bonus and it was accepted. The lady I negotiated with was very nice and REALLY excited that I liked the company and that I was accepting. My advice....NEGOTIATE!
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Presentation.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 4 weeks)
I applied for the job through my university. I heard back about a week later and went to the Career Center for an Interview. The initial interview is with 2 or 3 Managers or Senior Managers. It is mainly behavioral, but they did ask me some case interview-esque questions (e.g., market estimate). It was a pleasant experience and all my interviewers were alums of my university. I was advanced to the final round a week later. This last round consisted of 4 interviews with VP's. They asked questions about my resume, behavioral questions and again, some case-esque questions. All of them were very pleasant. After the interviews we went out to lunch, and I think this was the interesting part: you have 12 or so Type A's all vying for a job. I ended up getting an offer about a week and a half later. Great experience interviewing. Accepted the offer.

Interviewed May 2009 in San Francisco, CA (took 4+ weeks)
Interview process consisted of one on-campus interview (about 30 minutes). If invited for a second round, it takes place in-house: 3-4 one-on-one interviews with Managers and above. Second round usually includes some sort of meal for meet and greet (dinner the night before, breakfast, one-on-one lunch). All questions are behavioral around the resume: strengths/weaknesses, accomplishments, leadership and group experiences.
