Interviewed Mar 2010 in San Diego, CA (took a day)
Submitted my resume for the position a year previouse. Recieved a phone call out of the blue a year later asking me if I was interesded in the systems engineer job. I said yes. I talked to the manager for a half hour and then scheduled a sit down interview and a presentation for an hour in front of 30 people. It went well and I recieved an offer the next day.

basic questions, if you know someone internal, it will be much easier. Otherwise, they will not contact you.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in San Diego, CA (took 3 weeks)
Meet with HR briefly. Then meet with process managers for 30 minutes for standard "how do you handle conflict" type of questions. Next, meet with SW Engineers that asked my background and examples to test my skill level. While finishing up with HR, asked me if I could come back after lunch. They paid for lunch and when I returned, talked with project managers that I would be working for. 2.5 Hrs total not including lunch.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
The campus/site/branch had a dedicated "Talent Acquisition" person. After being offered a 5% raise over my previous job, I requested either a larger raise (7% total) or a pay grade increase (from SW level 3 to 4). After a week they got back to me and gave me neither! They did give me a $3k signing bonus since I was moving from L.A. to San Diego. (Job was not eligible for relocation funds but the $3k was about equal to it.)
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Background Check, a Drug Test, a Skills Test and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed May 2009 in San Diego, CA (took 2 months)
Lengthy process and difficult technical questions. It seems to me that they are trying to eliminate candidate who don't have the insider's help. In all, "It was not about what you know, but who you know."

I got an email setting up an on site interview. When I got there, there were 3 guys waiting for me. They ask me mostly non technical stuff and explained their projects to me. The only other thing they ask were my past experience and general stuff about explain what an API is.

Back to back interviews of 30 minutes with a group of 3 people each time.
First group asked more general questions. More about your past experience. Second group was technical, showing me examples of code and asking to pick out bugs and give ways to improve it.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in San Diego, CA (took a day)
I was called by a hiring manager requesting an immediate on site interview, no prior phone interview just looked over a copy of my resume. I am an engineer but the position is for Project Management. The interview was two on one and barely followed the typical interview process. The only real question asked was, what experience do you have relating to a managers position. Half of the interview was describing to me the division they are in charge of, the typical task and typical work day. The other half was them telling me stories about unique engineering encounters.
