Interviewed Mar 2009 in Bangalore (took 2 days)
It was a very good interview. Everyone who were ther e on the panel were good. They more importantly sought for an answer from me instead of making me feel that I dont know. It went for 2 hours and finally said you are selected .Happy to share this information to you all.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 3 weeks)
The interview process was very professional. First they screen the candidates with a phone interview and if they pass then they call you for a face to face interview. My interview was with 4 people individually - 2 directors and a group manager and senior product marketing manager. Everyone was very professional and thorough and were very clear with what they wanted. Prepare yourself with the requirements from the job description in detail and then some more as well. Have knowledge of current technologies and where it is going. Sun is a great company with great products and technologies and the culture seems to be very good as well. If you are a top performer, diligent and hard working you can really learn a lot but and progress as well. Great offices and location. Has a great cafeteria and also a gym onsite which is free for employees. Great bonus structure and benefits too. I would love to work there and it would definitely challenge my skills and that is what I am looking for.

Interviewed Mar 2009 (took a day)
I got an email from the hiring manager who my friend had passed my resume to. She was very nice. The people setting up the interview gave me the wrong address to go to - I went to the address of the office, when I needed to go to the front desk. The parking lot was huge as well -- leave lots of extra time. I interviewed with several people, one after the other, one on one.

Interviewed Oct 2008 in Broomfield, CO (took 5 weeks)
Fairly informal interviewing process. Referred internally by an employee via the HR organization to the hiring manager. Two initial phone interviews, followed by an in person interview and then a series of brief interviews by my managers Director, other individuals who I am now working directly with, and one other Director in the organization.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Some. I was a rehire and was able to negotiate backup to my departure salary.
Really consider if you want to work at Sun and why. The company is under a lot of stress, but there are opportunities to learn global enterprise skills that few other companies can offer.
Other Details

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Broomfield, CO (took 2 weeks)
Due to Sun's practice of setting up global teams who can work from anywhere, the initial contacts were all via phone. I was first contacted by the Hiring Manager, and then another member of her team via phone interviews. This was followed by a group interview on location.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I attempted to negotiate everything I could, but was given an offer (which was fair and generous) and only one of my negotiation points made it into the final hiring plan (flexibility). I believe this was due in part to the urgency in which they needed to place the position.
