Interviewed Nov 2009 in Arlington, VA (took 2 days)
There was one phone screen interview with the manager followed up by a face to face with the manager and two of his employees. We discussed different technical scenarios and how I'd approach them. Typical questions surrounded configuration/deployment methodology, managing and monitoring environments as well as troubleshooting issues during an outage scenario.
On a scale of 1 to 10 for questions for a true Sr. Systems Administrator, the technical part of the interview was about a 6/7.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Arlington, VA (took 3 weeks)
The company technical recruiter found my resume online and sent me an email with job description. I responded to the email with my latest resume.
After a week recruiter called me discussed with me about the job opportunity and my interest to work for plateau systems. After the conversation he sent me an email requesting convenient time to setup technical phone interview.
The phone interview was purely technical they asked me about core java, servlets, jsp, struts, hibernate and a little about html, java scirpt and ajax.
After the phone interview they called me for an onsite intervew. That went for around 2 hrs. It includes mostly technical and a little hr interview.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Arlington, VA (took 2 weeks)
A small company going through obvious growing pains. Wants to make fair choices. The company develops web based HR applications. The majority of the staff demographically is heavily dependent on the particular job function. This is a company where an engineer with a little bit of skill and a whole lot of dedication can rise to VP and Director level positions. Found leadership to be often confused and rely heavily on the ability of staff, although this can be touch and go given the weeding and hiring process. No real strong managerial direction or focus. Managers "lead" more through kindness and friendship without driven objectives. The interviewers in senior level ranks would not have equivalent positions in larger companies. I was nearly floored to find that the "nervous engineer" who couldn't look me in the eye was actually a VP. Technical interview was more an exercise to show the senior manager's knowledge than a real assessment of mine. Many questions answered incorrectly went un-noticed. There is no formal reporting structure or division of responsibility. All hands from the top down are involved in even mundane support level tasks. This sounds good except for examples and instances that result like that the IT Director is also the lead IT engineer and the phone and email systems have regular frequent outages sometimes lasting over a week.
HR department appears "freaked out" by interaction with general staff and is more of a required formality than a service.
There is a sign on bonus which must be re-payed in the event the employee quits or is fired either willfully, unwillfully or is unable to obtain a security clearance within 6 months of hire. Clearances are Public Trust.

Interviewed Dec 2008 in Washington, DC (took 2 weeks)
I guess I fell prey to a new recruiter who was eager to make their "bones" within the company. I told the recruiter exactly what my strengths and my weaknesses were within my domain of expertise. Well either they were just after volume of resumes or she did not have a good grasp as to what the hiring manager was looking for because wouldn't you know it, the entire interview focused on my area of least experience. I don't really blame either person, recruiter or interviewing manager, because I think both thought the other understood what they were after. If I had understood better the position, it never would have gotten to the level of Management I got to. I would have, right away, understood my skill set was not a great fit.
