Interviewed Apr 2010 in Milpitas, CA (took a day)
Very friendly staffing manager who prearranged everything in a well defined manner. Interview went well. Seems to have a good campus. The staffing manager is very nice person and was very amicable. They also seem to have nice engineering teams with challenging projects. Seems to be doing well since they have a lot of interns on site and most of them seem to get converted as full time.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Shanghai (China) (took 3 days)
There are 3 rounds of interview. 1st round is with headhunter. They checked the background and personal interests. 2nd round was a phone interview with the line manager. The interviewer was nice. Most questions were about previous experience. He checked the major responsiblity one by one, very detail. 3rd round was conducted by line manager and HR. They most reviewed all positions mentioned in CV and paid attention on the way of handling retails. Also they briefed the culture of their company, sounds they didn't like their culture very much.
Tips:
Go through your CV before interview and be yourself.
Learn about IT retails in advance.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 2 weeks)
It was pretty painless, the people were very nice and friendly, and willing to accommodate me. After applying online, I was contacted by someone in HR who asked me some initial questions about what I thought the job was and made sure I understood everything, then asked me if it was still something I'd like to pursue. I was then set up for an interview with someone in the department, it lasted for about thirty minutes. I also had to fill out a paper application with references and NDAs, etc. I was contacted about a week and a half later with followup questions about car availability and insurance, and the next day thy called back with a decision.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 4+ weeks)
Interview was quite easy with several people asking random questions - in most cases, I did not feel the people really prepared for the interviews - SanDisk strikes me as an informal company
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
First of all, I was not impressed by the level of the executives I met. Their questions were not that insightful and they seem to focus on tactics. I also think there is lots of politics in the company. Finally, the product is not very attractive (almost a commodity) especially for a marketeer. People seem to be nice but not very experienced and prepared. I would say it is an average place to work. If you are just looking for a place to work and earn a decent salary, this is a good place. Not for me
