Interviewed Nov 2010 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 3 days)
Because I worked there before, I only met with the Director of Staffing since he was new. Normally the process would consist of a phone interview for 30 minutes and an onsite interview with about 3-4 people. The only advice is to be yourself and be honest.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Sunnyvale, CA (took a day)
The interview itself wasn't hard, they asked general questions (how to find least common denominator, a brainteaser). The hard part was dealing with the recruiters. I had a pending job offer so they promised I'd know by the following Monday. On Monday they promised they'd tell me on Wednesday. On Wednesday they swore I would know by Thursday, and on Thursday they absolutely told me I would know Friday. A month later, still no reply. The way they dealt with me was incredibly unprofessional. I don't recommend going through the interview process if not knowing results stresses you out.

It was a phone interview. First the person introduced their group and what are they looking from a potential candidate. They wanted a quick learner and basic knowledge of web services, virtualization, java and some scripting languages. Then asked about mine project experiences.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Cranberry Township, PA (took 3 weeks)
This began when I gave my resume to a NetApp recruiter at my university's job fair. A few weeks went by, they offered me an on-site interview at their Cranberry Township, PA site (I go to school in Pittsburgh, this probably explains the lack of phone screen). The interview involved talking with three people (the manager of the hardware team and two engineers) for an hour each. All three were very personable. The interview primarily focused on past projects with fairly minimal technical questions, the company seemed to trust that my projects and classes proved my tech knowledge. At the end of the interview I was told I would get a decision within 2 weeks, and they called to offer me a position in about a week and a half. All in all I'm quite impressed with NetApp, the culture and employees are great, and their HR organization is very well-organized.
