Interviewed May 2012 in Natick, MA (took 2 weeks)
Two telephonic interviews. First one with software developer. He asked basic questions based on my resume and my experience. While i was discussing my profile, he kept on asking in between the technical terms i used like design patterns, etc. Discussed about the software team and their work. Very easy not at all tough. Scheduled for second interview with very high experienced person (i actually saw his linkedin profile). Interview started with his work profile and development. Next he asked my introduction and then my C++ projects. He had my resume in front of him, so he read different projects and then asked about some of them like what did the project do and other stuff. Then he asked me to discuss one of my c++ project and how did i do it. I explained it and while explaining various data structures and template libraries i used, he asked questions based on the technology used in the project. Interview was good and not very tough, but I did not get any further call. The interview was sounded like non-american guy coz i felt he was having problem in speaking in english. He actually was fumbling and that confused me a lot. I had to say "sorry i didn't get you" everytime he asked or said something.

Interviewed Mar 2012 (took a day)
Asked about basic computer science and discrete math concepts as well as about specific constructs of the Java language. Asked about data structures, static classes and methods, sorting algorithms, big o notation, trees, lists and double to int conversions. It was really hard to understand the interviewer over the phone due to his thick accent.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Natick, MA (took 2 days)
Initially started with Resume related questions and then basic HTML, Java, XML, XSL, CSS.
The interviewer was showing no response to my answers. As soon as the interview started, he went to the technical question (no pleasantries). Once the interview was done then came the response that we will get back to you. No - do you have any questions? Not sure if it was me or the interviewer

Reason for Declining
There was no chemistry between me and my would-be manager.
