Interviewed Apr 2008 (took a day)
If you know the basics interview is easy.
All basic stuff on the topics you put on the resume.
Verbal offer was also quick but getting a written offer usually takes time.
It took me 4 months to get offer and I know of someone whom it took from 6 months to 8 months to get offer latter

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Hyderabad (India) (took 2+ weeks)
Interviews were peaceful and relaxed.
2 Telephonic rounds were decent. Based mostly on Logic and Basic Algorithms.
Many questions on Java and PL-SQL
You cannot fool the interviewer on any of the questions, they are definitely knowledgeable.
3 Rounds of 1:1 interviews-
The questions were on puzzles. The interviewer made me comfortable and assisted me if I was on right track of solution. It was fun and not at all felt like a grilling interview
In all the rounds I was asked to write code and explain to them the concept.
Over all the interview became fun and a very good knowledge sharing session
