Initial communication will be handled by HR and a telephonic round will be there. This will be done either by manager or some engineer in the team. There will be usual questions on resume and projects done. There will be questions on C, Unix, Storage or some team specific questions. Once its cleared HR will call for a F2F interview. There will be 3 to 4 rounds of technical and one managerial round.

This was for a MTS-4 for a distributed computing product. First was a phone round, after I cleared that, got an onsite interview. Folks were on time, the interviewers were pretty young, less than my experience. Asked pretty usual questions, but I got a feeling that they were clueless how to judge me. However, except for the lunch interview (the guy was just odd, with absolutely no clue about distributed computing knowledge), everything went well. However, the HR was surprisingly lax about interview feedback.
