Interviewed Apr 2012 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
I had 5 rounds of interview. The first round is a gate-keeper round, which I cleared to get into a full-day interview process (which have atleast 4 rounds of interview).
The interviews are basically technical - algorithm and data structures.
The difficulty level of the interview keeps increasing, and steeply at times.
The first three rounds are simpler, while the last two rounds are more difficult and are focused on trying to exactly map out the individual's strengths and weaknesses. (I got through the first 4 rounds, but did not clear the last one)
The interviewers are pretty open to giving hints and helping you out in solving the problem.
Apart from the solution itself, I feel that positive approach, openness to reconsider, and think through the solution are also important aspects.
Preparing for the interview with online interview questions helps, but the experience of the interview is truly new. The level of questions can be easily jacked up, so it helps to prepare, but stay calm and actually think in the interview.
I also felt that they need to be re-assured that you enjoy the process of solving, and can actually do this effectively. They also are very keen on accurate self-assessment.

In GTSC, interview depends on the team for which you are being interviewed. E.g. if its for ASP.NET team, be thorough with ASP.NET. It doesn't matter if you are not very familiar with other .NET aspects. You need to be a bit specialized. Theory is very important. And some troubleshooting questions. Need to be very confident because its for a customer support position where you need to talk with customers.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Bangalore (India) (took 3 weeks)
Day1:
1. Written test - tests analytical skills and some technical skills
gap of an hour
If the candidate clears the written test. (I cleared the test)
2. Interview 1: A senior program manager interviews you. very friendly but there are lot of hidden things in that friendly talk so beware of decoys, don't just get carried away. Technical, analytical and approach to problems. Analytical questions are mostly general and not tied to a job responsibility. Ask good questions.
half an hour gap
If the candidate clears the first interview (I cleared it)
3. Interview 2: A program manager interviews you. Friendly. Technical as well as analytical stuff, but this time specific to the job area that you are interviewing for. Expect open ended questions, be ready to analyse, and carry the discussion forward sensibly, ask good questions, and be ready for whiteboard discussions also (just in case).
If the candidate clears the 2nd interview, he is thru for the final round with the group program manager, to be organized a couple of weeks hence.
I cleared it and was told immediately about it and was informed that my last interview will happen in a couple of weeks and they will let me know.
Call for the last interview with the group program manager (almost 2 weeks after the first round)
4. Interview with the gpm: Its either going to be less than 15mins or going to be45+minutes. Depending on your impression in the first few minutes. Very sharp guy, intelligent and knowledgeable. Mine lasted for 50+ minutes and was extremely engaging. Its the part where it comes to, how will you adapt into the organisation, will you be a good fit by behavior/nature/instincts/as-a-person, and less importantly by skills, coz those have been verified in earlier interview. Though all kinds of questions will come, technical, analytical, creative, open ended discussion, dig-your-history.
I did impress the guy and we both were very much into the interview, but he did not like my history/career-path-till-then, 'coz I have been entrepreneurial, doing my own stuff by quitting earlier job in the past and that really haunted the whole discussion and the guy, for almost half the duration )
