Interviewed Nov 2011 in Hyderabad (India) (took 2 days)
I had a phone screen by HR and one other peer Director over the phone before they invited me for a 1:1.
In the the 1:1, they asked me about my work till now and some HR type questions - whether i was willing to relocate from Bangalore to Hyderabad. They then scheduled a 2nd phone interview after the 1x1 and after the 2nd phone interview they called back to let me know that they had already filled the position

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 1 week)
The staffing agency I am working with submitted my application and based on that I had an initial interview. The information given to the agency was vague, so I was curious. I had a decent enough experience on the initial interview with the job description being solidified a little more. The position was actually to act as a contractor, not a temp-to-hire position as originally described. Being hired as an employee is very different from being hired as a contractor makes for a very different work environment.
The interviewer seemed pretty positive that I understood the basics of the position and it was confirmed I was to have a follow up interview with her manager in a few days by phone as they were based out of state.
The morning of the telephone interview, after the interview time I was called by the agency to say the position had changed. It went from an analyst position to a web development position. Meaning it was no longer available. The agency had notified me as soon as possible but hadn't been given much notice themselves. The general perception of the company based on this experience is that communication is not a high priority and they are very disorganized which is frankly scary considering they are supposed to help other companies manage data.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 2 days)
I got a phone call from a recruiter who arranged an onsite interview a month later. The recruiter did not ask any questions but my background and interest. For the onsite interview, there are some behavioral questions. Most of the time, they introduce what the group is mainly doing. Some C/C++, operating systems, and brain teaser questions.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
campus placement. . first screening based on normal aptitude test similar to cat. then 3 rounds of f2f interview. first two rounds were technical, were algorithms, puzzles and other coding stuff was asked. the third was the HR round where ur commitment and skills were looked upon. the interviewers were very friendly, i do not hv much background in coding and made it very clear in the beginning and i guess that helped me.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in San Jose, CA (took 1 week)
Interview process moved very fast as they had urgent openings, was for one of the teams in Enterprise Manager group.
Since I was locally based, the first round was a 1:1 technical interview with Manager on-site. After clearing that, was called for an onsite interview which went on for 5-hours with about 7 interviewers(30-45 min) including VP of the group. Did not ask to do much coding during the interviews, was mostly design oriented and technical problem solving.
Whiteboard usage was required, so prospective candidates, should practice standard class diagram representations and in-depth knowledge of architectures.
Interviewers seemed nice and friendly, although work culture looked very formal and not so much fun, but its only a perception. Office is in a very good location and they seem to have great facilities.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
I was contacted by one of Oracle's in-house recruiters. He was very nice but did not offer much information about the position or responsibilities. The interview was very short and ended after asking me what my current salary. I think I was too high of a price. I was told that I would have a second interview arranged within the next 48 hours. He replied back a week later stating that he found no interest-indicating that he was just getting initial interviews prior to researching if the resume matched the job requirements. Because he we unable to explain the position-I never knew if I was out of source with my background.
