The process took 1 day. I interviewed at VMware in Jan 2012
Interview
I was referred by one of my friend in this group.
The manger seems interested in what I have done in my phd study.
After briefly discussed with him about my projects, he started to ask
me general technical questions. I have answered some of them including
how to implement a semaphore, spinlock, read write lock, interrupt, etc.
I guess I was rejected.

Question 1
How to implement a semaphore using mutex and conditional value by pthread?
casual, difficult, long. recruiter interview, hiring manager interview, pairing engineering exercise, play ping pong, get breakfast, salary discussion, salary negotiation, offer, contract, 6h in total. the process took 2 weeks. All pretty standard
The interview was good but it was a bit difficult. There were one written programming round and two online coding rounds There were multiple coding rounds. The programming language asked was core java.
