Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
The interview ended earlier than it was supposed to be. Phone interview.
Questions totally not related to my resume.
Assumed I knew every language and asked very vague questions. One of the most difficult/uneasy interviews.
Asked to code something using hashmaps. I never used hashmaps before so I told him I dont know hashmaps, asked three coding questions in hashmaps at a stretch. I mean if I dont know hashmaps, Im bound to not know all of them, so why not stop after the first one? Scripted questions not versatile.

Interviewed Apr 2012 (took 4+ weeks)
Two phone interview, one onsite, and one coding problem afterwards. The whole process takes about a month, and it went pretty well. Meet a lot of good engineers and have good discussion about technique details, resume, coding problem, etc. It not very hard, but requires a lot of preparation and lucky, I am glad I got the offer at the end, although I did not accept it.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Munich (Germany) (took a day)
I applied through the company's website. A few weeks later I received an email with an invitation for a phone interview. Settling on a particular date took some time, as my contact person was not very responsive.
I was interviewed over the phone from a person that was based in the US. The job that I applied was based in Munich, Germany. My interviewer was totally unprepared so I had to wait a bit until he went though my CV. First he asked me to name some ASM instructions in a few architectures that I mentioned in my CV. Then he told me to code a function in C that will swap the neighboring bits in a 32-bit variable. When I was ready to dictate the function I notice that he was not there anymore. So I just listened until I heard him sitting on the chair again and told him my solution (btw. spelling a bit-twiddling function over the phone is awkward). Then he asked me if I have any questions. After answering, the interview was over. The entire interview was around 15 minutes long, although I was told in the email that I should expect the interview to last for about an hour.
After waiting about 3 weeks for an answer I've sent an email to the recruiter asking for an update. I received a generic email saying that they thank me for sending the CV but that they do not have any positions available for me. That was weird, since I was expecting some feedback about the interview. So I sent an email to the recruiter saying that I would appreciate some feedback from the interviewer. I never received an answer ...

Interviewed Mar 2012 (took a day)
The interviewer asked questions based on my resume, and then brain teaser, algorithm problems at last. The interviewer will give you hint if you blocked and he is very nice.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Santa Clara, CA (took 5 days)
I spoke with the hiring manager on the phone and then flew to the Bay area for a round of interviews. The on site interview was fairly standard - 5-6 interviews and a lunch interview with the hiring manager.
Most of the questions were focused on my past experience and domain specific questions on multimedia. There was one interview where I was asked a bunch of fairly straightforward coding questions.
