The interview consist of two parts. The hiring manager shared the job description and overview of his expectations. Then, I was asked to share my past experiences and background. There was nothing unusual about the interview. Very straight forward and I had a very good experience.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in San Diego, CA (took 4 days)
There was a single phone call in the beginning and that led to an on-site interview for which I knew very little. However, I have a strong engineering background and thus I was able to easily answer the engineering questions.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2+ weeks)
Initial discussion with HR, then a 1:1 with an existing sales guy then a presentation to HR, Fellow sales guy and the sales director lasting about 1 hour. Everything went really well, all the contacts seemed friendly and open. The only negative was the closing question from the sales director "how would you deal with someone who really hates you".
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Felt that the sales director was a bit "old fashioned" in approach and his final question was strange.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Presentation.

I was found by Staffmark recruiter and then sent to interview at Sony. I liked interview as it was really positive and people who interviewed me were very professional and usually it really nice to work with clever people. Most questions were about my previous experience. Anyway - I really glad that I accepted offer and now I am able to work with these people :).

Interviewed May 2009 in San Jose, CA (took 3 days)
Initial screening was done in phone. This was done by the hiring manager. Cleared that level and was asked to come for a group / 1 on 1 meeting. There were around 7 engineers who did 1 on 1 interview. Moderate technical questions which was easier to handle. After 1 day was contacted by HR and offered the job.
