I applied online. I interviewed at Agilent Technologies (Santa Rosa, CA) in Jun 2008
Interview
First, there's a phone interview. This was done using NetMetting with a shared workspace so the interviewer can watch you code. Next was an onsite interview.
The interview starts with a 30 minute presentation to be given in front of the entire interview team, including the hiring manager and each person who will interview you throughout the day. After that are 5 one-on-one, one hour interviews with an informal lunch in the middle.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked the night before to give the 30 minute presentation. This is a normal part of the process, except for the short notice. Evidently, the hiring manager forgot to tell me until then, but I luckily had one nearly ready.

Interview
Good approach with a strong HR professional and consistent follow-up, but a long process with little feedback. Based more on intuition than on technical skills. the technical interview consisted in a lot of question related to both technologies that appeared on the job description, and others not even mentioned on it. Little transparency regarding other candidates.

Interview
Interview was fairly simple. It was easy to prepare for and interviewers were nice and helpful. I would recommend applying. Role can be remote or hybrid flexibility. Some are on-site roles.
Very relaxed, and they were kind enough to ask good questions and talk about the salary. I liked the interview, and did not have to wait long to hear the next steps.
