Interviewed Mar 2011 in Sunnyvale, CA (took a day)
The position was ASIC Verification. Initially had two phone screens. Then they called me for an onsite interview which consisted of 4 interviews and lunch with the ASIC manager, each lasting for 45 minutes. All four of them were technical. Work culture seemed very good.. there was a basketball court which was occupied at all times..My advice: just relax and be yourself and interview with a clear mind Get your C, C++ and digital logic basics strong. .prepare a list of questions you would wanna ask the interviewers. If you've put something in your resume, then be prepared to answer any questions on it..

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 2 weeks)
First call was unsolicited from a headhunting firm, who first wanted to know if I would be interested in learning more about a new opportunity at a major bay area tech company. We then discussed my role at my current employer, my accomplishments, policies, procedures, incentive programs, etc., that I have implemented. I was asked to discuss my interactions with executive management. And, of course, I was asked to discuss my strengths and weaknesses. A long first, unsolicited interview, to say the least.
I was then passed off to the CEO for further interviews. We then did a panel interview of peers from other LOBs, Support, and Finance. All questions were similar, and I was asked to discuss a number of case studies and specific experiences and examples.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Job required relocation that would have negated any advantages the position would've offered over my current employment and living situation. Had I been unemployed, or in the market for a move, I probably would've have given the position close consideration.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
manager will always try to low ball you as much as he/she can. be firm, be strong and don't give in, unless you really need a job and are willing to take anything.

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Santa Clara, CA (took 4 days)
The hiring manager called me and described the position briefly. Asked me whether I'd be interested in talking further. I agreed and was invited for a 1:1 round of interviews.
I met 3 people during this round - the hiring manager, one technical guy, and another junior manager. They went over my resume asking me questions about my projects. Very basic technical questions. The junior manager expressed a concern that I seemed like a job jumper - which was strange because in 12+ years I've changed just 3 companies - and was with my previous employer for over 6 years when I was interviewing with Juniper!
Anyways, they called me again for another round. This time it was with 3 more people. Questions where more technical this time but of average difficultly.
I got invited for another round after this stage. This time it was a panel of two database programmers from IT and all they had to ask was database administration questions. This was strange because the position I was applying for did not mention database administration as part of the requirements nor did I claim to have this expertise. So this was surprising nevertheless.

I'd received another offer during this time - and in all of the interviews I got the feeling that they did not seem sure what skill-sets were actually required for the position.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Skills Test.

Onsite interview was set up, a week after the telephone interview. It took 3 weeks for them to get back after mailing the HR and hiring manager. The work involved for the position was very good. The team was friendly and there was not much HR interaction. Coding Qs were only in C ranging from Pointers to Bit-wise operations to data structures..
