Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 5 weeks)
Certainly, the best experience in my professional life.
Every interview was friendly, clean, time moderated, and contained hints leading me to right answers.
Phone screen: few questions on general OS internals, like "describe the context switch" + one brain teaser from well-known book "How to move Fuji mountain" - must read, btw.
Face2face is even more friendly, in relaxing environment, with extremely friendly people.
Mostly typical questions like "reverse linked list". I would recommend to read "Introduction to algorithms" and "Hacker's Delight" before face2face.

Negotiation Details
The benefits are excellent. The offered monetary part was above my expectations, so I missed negotiation phase. :)
Other Details
