Interviewed Dec 2009 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 2 months)

Applied for new college grad position, through college. Had a telephone interview for 40-45 mins.
2 weeks later on-site interview with 4 Project Managers for 4-5 hours. The interviewers were friendly, patient and co-operative.
One more on-site interview, for 30+ minutes. This interviewer was strict and very intimidating. Shot quick questions and seemed disinterested in my answers.

There were several phone interviews prior to a determination to move forward with a flight to Sunnyvale. I had 6 phone interviews and at the last moment the 7th phone interview was cancelled.

I found the feedback from the Recruiter was perplexing.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 1 week)

Company seemed in the between the extremes of refocusing and out right chaos. There was a fair amount of hubris yet they seemed to be suffering from AGAD (Acute Google Anxiety Disorder). It was an 8 hr interview which in my opinion was about 7 hours too long.

I was difficult to know exactly what they were looking for as each person I interviewed with seemed to have a different view of the job requirements.

Interview Questions

There were really no questions that were tricky or difficult. The folks interviewing actually seemed to have problems with their interview approach and techniques.
