Interviewed Jan 2011 in Aliso Viejo, CA (took a day)
The interview process was great. HR called and set up the appointment. Talked to the whole group, that tells me how much respects from the manager to his group members.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 3 days)
Started with a phone interview, then on to a face to face. I talked with 8 different people; other engineers, the hiring manager, managers from related groups and the VP. Each interview was focused more on how I thought through questions, and what I had done, to demonstrate I could solve problems. It was a hybrid of Behavioral interviewing and seeing what makes me tick.

Interviewed May 2011 in Irvine, CA (took 2+ weeks)
It was about an all day thing. They take new college students out to lunch. However it's also an interview when they do so. You may have 4, 30 minute interviews. They seem to hire people that do well on the required test.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Not much, you just get an offer and you take it.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Skills Test.
