Director at TIBCO Software

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Palo Alto, CA Jun 2008 – Reviewed Dec 2, 2010

Interview Details – It was a good mixed bag. Met with different managers and employees across the org. Most interviews were conducted on one afternoon. Some one offs were conducted and sprinkled in to finalize the deal. If they like you, you're in and you'll probably know it quickly. HR is usually the holdup.

Software Engineer at TIBCO Software

No Offer – Interviewed in Palo Alto, CA Jul 2009 – Reviewed Sep 2, 2009

Interview Details – Scheduled interview by email with HR. Dress code was informal. There was a conference room reserved for the interview where I spend all 4 hours. There were 6 rounds with 2 people each - most of the hiring team. I was taken to lunch. Water and coffee were available near the conference room.
The company seemed to have a nice culture, the interviewers were laid back, but curious. Some didn't really know what to look for and others went deep into white-board coding. It seemed like a desirable place to work for me.
