Interviewed Sep 2010 in Hyderabad (India) (took 6+ weeks)

Seems like you have to be lucky to get a proper interviewer. From what i have heard, it is a mixed bag. Some interviewers are easy to handle and some of them are difficult. Depends on whom you get as interviewer.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took a day)

Referral by an employ who is my friend.
Phone interview by the group manager to check my resume, background, reference, salary expectation. Some simple technical questions, not difficult, basically checking what and how you are doing in your current job. Another phone to verify other stuff and schedule an on-site.
During the on-site, I was shown to hr, and then everyone in the group, all very nice professionals. Each discussed with me the part of my resume that interested them. Then a phone call to a remote office to discuss further with another engineer, mostly on design and development of systems.
HR phoned me multiple time for any ensuing issues.

Very Easy Interview

Overall Neutral Experience

Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed Dec 2009 in San Diego, CA (took a day)

I interviewed with 12 people, some in groups, some 1:1. The interview was very organized with an agenda and everything. They have security checkpoints, but you could actually just walk through because the card reader is not attached to a door. Hmmm. There are several other painless but pointless formalities the employees go through. The people are friendly, helpful, and nice. The culture is huge, disjointed, and disorganized. The campus is nice and there is a cafeteria and gym on site.

Interview Questions

The questions were rather generic.

Negotiation Details

They were able to make some concessions on flex time and vacation, but not on salary. They tried to bully and intimidate me (and that continued on the job), but I stood my ground and knew what I wanted. Their approach is a little gruff and absolute, but they will listen to reason if you take back your power.
