Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 3 weeks)
I first had a screening on-campus interview with two representatives that felt more like a conversation and was pretty relaxed. They first asked me what I knew about Progress then gave me any info that i missed. They briefly described the positions and asked some general questions about my education an resume and qualifications.
The next day I was contacted for a second on-site interview. There I met with 4 people, individually. Two of those were general personalty type questions. The other two were more technical they asked about my programming experience and experience with SQL.
The experience was positive during the interviews and while they still seemed interested, but it took them nearly two weeks before telling they weren't moving on with my application. I think I was lacking the programming skills they were looking for.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Hyderabad (India) (took a day)
First was a Written Round followed by a 1:1 discussion round the same day. They've completed both the rounds in less than 2 hours. It was fantastic that they didn't make you wait like every other Indian company.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Hyderabad (India) (took 2 months)
I had specifically mentioned my expected salary in the mails i'd sent tot he company. Inspite of this, during the interview they kept asking me to be flexible. When they know what my expected salary is, they should'nt have scheduled the interview in the first place. Esp. after i told them the minimum i can settle for.
also, they took 2 months time to get back to me to schedule an interview.

Interview over the phone in my opinion It was a very good match. After the first interview they went silent I ping them a few time and got nothing pack. A contact inside told me they promote someone internally for the position.
