Interviewed Jul 2009 in Chennai (India) (took a day)

The interview consisted of a skills/IQ test.I got through the test. It was conducted for about 150 students and 20 were selected. And then we had two rounds of interview. Technical and HR.
The technical interview was quite good. They just asked some basics about C++ and other programming languages, and about networks and some logical questions in math.
And then there was HR interview, in which I had real fun, they spoke about my college, i criticized, they were shocked and I said that I am being frank and true. They asked why we should hire you? I said given something to do, even if I dont have any prior knowledge about it, I could do it learning things and taking some guidance. they got impressed and selected me for the position.
That was a very good interview.

Interviewed Sep 2008 (took a day)

there was one round of technical interview and another round of HR interview. The questions were very basic and tested understanding of business scenarios and how one would react to situations. Knowledge of telecom domain will really help. They also looked for good academic record from the schooling. There were questions from my favourite engineering subject too.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 days)

Through a recruiter, met with team of 4 people. Very professional while decently casual. Asked questions and presented engineering problems to work through - complicated but not insanely so.
Outright stated that they were a Serious Work Environment, long hours were expected and all sorts of no-nonsense points. While this turned off my interest, the candor was most excellent.
