Interviewed Feb 2011 (took a day)
Submitted resume online at the school career website for interview and was offered an on-campus interview.
HR interview on-campus. Went through background and drilled the resume in depth. Asked me to describe all my projects and what I did. It was a lot of just me talking about my projects and him listening. I sense that the interviewer was mostly disinterested. Did not hear back from them at all and assumed that i was skipped over for the position.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took a day)
Basically it is a behavioral interview. The recruiter was very friendly, very enthusiastic to answer questions. Two questions are asked, which project I've done I liked the least? and describe a situation that I have some difficulties.

Interviewed May 2008 in San Jose, CA (took 2 weeks)
I received a call from a recruiter who said that they had seen my resume on a job board and they thought I might be a fit for the position. They asked if I was currently looking for a new job and I confirmed that I was not happy with my current salary prospects since my company was not meeting my expectations for success.

Negotiation Details
It was very much take it or leave it. The package was OK, nothing exceptional, but after starting I realized that the health insurance co-pay's are quite high esp for prescriptions. Up to $45 each.
