Interviewed Jan 2010 (took a day)
can't enter too much details about the interviews, because that'll give away who i am. But in general, TR's interview process was pretty simple, at least at that time. They're looking to see whether you're being honest about your skill set in your resume, and that's mostly it. of course you're not going to get hired, if you don't know anything, but this isn't google and so the interviews are not THAT tough. doesn't mean there aren't managers and lead that won't test you tough, there might be. but in general, if you're honest, have at least some level of skill set, and seem all around nice and willing to give your best, you should get hired, since it's a large company, they'll find a position suitable for you.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I didn't really negotiate much because the salary they offered when I was getting out of college was pretty much the best of the ones I got. I did in fact get a little bit higher offer from a smaller company, but I wanted to work in TR, so I accepted it whole heartedly. Especially the benefits were better here. Now that I think about it, may be I could've/should've negotiated a little bit, but i was young and just excited to get an offer! no regrets though.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Boston, MA (took 2 days)
I was interviewed by the director of one of the many development groups in Boston campus. The technical questions were very easy, the manager seems to care more about personality than technical skill. First day the manager interviewed me, then they called me to be there again next day, when I met the team. I got an offer later.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Boston, MA (took 4+ weeks)
Got the call through my University site. Had an initial phone screen with the Development Manager. Was pretty basic stuff about the technology and a little bit of resume.Since I was out-of-town candidate, my next round was over skype with the whole team (3 person). The team members were very nice,professional. I got a feel that the whole work environment was very comfortable and exciting. This round was pretty technical about the concepts however there was no code writing. This made me feel more respected because why would I apply if I didnt know how to ! There was a final interview with the development manager of the entire division which was more to see the cultural fit. The interview process was fairly speedy and the delays were on my unavailability. Felt definitely like a good company and team to work for.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 1 week)
Applied online, a week after recruiter contacted me over e-mail and scheduled a phone interview. It was just basic questions, she was not emotional at all, it was ok. A week after had another (technical) phone interview which was easy. A week after went on-sight for another interview, which was basic behavior questions, questions about previous experience, talked about technology, it was easy, no puzzles or brainteasers, no white board coding. People were nice. Never heard from them again, kinda disappointed, their IT people seem nice, but HR is totally messed up, could've at least sent an email.
