Interviewed Nov 2009 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 2 weeks)
The HR people treat you very well, and feed you lunch before interviews begin. Interviewers were nice, and the interviews on the whole was organized well.
2 phone interviews : simple data structures and some OS/DB problems
4 interviews on site: First one was C and Java..was asked to write code.
Interview 2: data structures: Tricky problems which were not completely defined were asked, keep prompting for more details if you think the details provided are not enough. No code, only algo.
Interview 3: Systems stuff -- OS, distributed systems, DB
Interview 4 was more like a general discussion on various topics, but officially a Software Engg interview

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Santa Monica, CA (took a day)
YHOO recruiter, then technical phone screen by UI engineer. Because I was remote, we did a panel interview over the phone and chat (for coding questions). Mostly PHP, and one javascript question. I got the sense if you really demonstrate you know the stuff, they ask you something else in the interview.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 3 days)
The hiring manager emailed me with the requirements and I was interested. I had two phone interviews followed by a in-person interview that lasted around 4 hours with 7 different people. Standard questions. Nothing out of the ordinary. People were very professional and courteous. Friendly and nice.

I did not negotiate though I think now, that one can negotiate upto 5% at least. What is the harm in asking?

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Santa Clara, CA (took 3 weeks)
the phone interview was quite easy. Standard algorithm questions. Questions on threads, performance analysis of c++ processes on unix / linux systems and some c++ questions on pointers.
The 1:1 interview was little more theoretical on design patterns, and object orientation. I was also asked to design a class and asked to compare c++ v/s java. Other folks asked about my past experiences and how I solved some problems in the past (situational/behavioral).

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 2 weeks)
Had a very good phone interview with the hiring manager. We talked about my previous finance experience and he seemed very pleased by it. Wasn't very technical. Then I had an in-person interview where I met with everyone on the team. The job would be considered a step backward for someone with my experience, so I had to try to convince them that I would be a good fit. I didn't do a very good job.

Interviewed Mar 2007 (took 2 weeks)
The hiring manager called me asked general questions regarding my current experience , then started asking about some testing concepts. The a week later I was called for onsite interview, by 5 people I think. Each person will ask different area of questions like QA experience, Programming, Database, Linux skill. One interviewer came with the laptop and I could use his laptop to perform some basic web programming to demonstrate the QA areas. I was surprise I wasn't asked to do any programming demo live, it was all about concepts , methodologies.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in New York, NY (took 3 weeks)
It was everything I thought it would be. Was a little suprised by the logic games, but they were meant to be fun and show team building etc. Submitted my resume by refferal internally. Got a call the next day for a screener. Followed a week later by a 30 min phone interview and another 30 min phone itnerview 3 days later. Then was invited for a round robin of 6 people 30 minutes each. All of them very professional and kind. The interview process was preatty seamless. However, they did'nt follow the schedule that was sent and I was thrown off a little but remained calm. Was then invited to phone interview with a Yahoo (thats what they are called) in London. Later received an email that they were pursuing other candidates. I beleive I did'nt have the SQL experience and web experience they were looking for. Was also told by an internal member the position was very hard to get and they had been interviewing alot of candidates. Would itnerview again in the future. Was a great experience overall.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 1 week)
the inverviewer was a technical hiring manager. Unfortunately, I was thinking the first phone interview should be a HR guy. Therefore, I am a little surprised when the guy started to throw technical questions on me.
The technical questions are not hard. It involves Selenium, Hudson, Test Framework, Interface and Localization.
I am a little nervous. So, did not perform very well. Should have more practice and preparation.

Interviewed Mar 2009 (took 2 weeks)
The process started with an email from a Yahoo recruiter looking for software engineers, and while happy at my current job, I at least wanted to see what Yahoo had to offer. After the phone interview with a hiring manager and another developer that went well, they requested that I come out to Sunnyvale for an in person interview. They paid for everything, airfare, car rental, and a nice hotel. The interview lasted ~3.5 hours and I met with a development team and some other business people. The interview mostly consisted of white-board coding and a few questions about my experience.

Interviewed Feb 2007 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 2 weeks)
My interview took all day long and exhausting. However, some people have been hired after interviews with a few people and finished within an hour.
Later I became a hiring manager and noticed that the process is depending on availability of interviewers and work schedules (or laziness).
Many interviewers do not have ability to judge technical skills (when hiring an engineer) so they simply see if they personally like the candidate or not.

Tell the HR that you have gotten another offer from another company. You'll be able to negotiate the better salary.
