* Interview process rigorous including 1phone and 2 face to face interviews two skills tests and a personality test
* A person who displays a wide variety of skills and is able to solve problems quickly is much more highly regarded than a person who is very focused in one area
* Research the company, especially the different groups. Know about the group you are interviewing with.
* Sometimes the more "realistic" solution is better than the "perfect" solution

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Sydney (Australia) (took 3 months)
long process. approx 5 sets of interviews incl psych testing et al. interesting experience and met some very nice people
however, for a senior management (IT) role i ws surprised by the lack of vision and clarity in what they were after. wanted leadership but clearly not themeslves able to show leadership. did however like the flexibility and the flavour that a given role was not for life...so there were some positives. in the end i was not successful, clearly i was not what they wanted but as it took a month for them to get back to me after saying "will get back to you within a few days" - so i am not convinced about their standards of leadership or communication.
happy in the end to have gone thru the experience but coupled with other feedback i am happy i am not joining the sweatshop !

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Sydney (Australia) (took 4+ weeks)
1) Phone interview with HR first, generic Behaviour questions
2) psychometric test, consisted of verbal reasoning, numeric, and abstract reasoning
3) Interview with 2 managers, one from operation one from development
4) Interview with another 2 managers
Overall, no technical questions were asked, but lots of behaviour questions, and tricky questions, such as tell me all the things you could do with a piece of blank bed sheet and some other type of role playing games
