I applied through my school's career site and got an interview with a recruiter on the campus a week later. The recruiter was really nice and we got along pretty well. The only question that he asked me was what do I think is on a satellite. A week later I was contacted by phone for an onsite interview. HR was generally pretty responsive, but I have heard stories that they never respond... Onsite interview consisted of my future manager, his manager, and his manager's manager. No technical questions were proposed, but we just went over my resume a bit. I think that my team is different than most and the manager is very protective of the people. I did hear a lot of complaints about politics, even during my interview. The culture is very relaxed and laid back, and I'm pretty sure that I saw a lot of people sleeping when I was walking around the cubicles. The place itself smells a bit like a retirement - mold and mothballs. Everyone did seem extremely smart. I felt like everyone that I came across had a Ph.D from Stanford, Berkeley, MIT or CalTech.
