I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at AT&T in Sep 2009
Interview
The interview involved questions on what I was working on. It was more of a technical interview and had questions on my willingness to work on new technologies. There was an initial phone interview followed by an on-site interview. The background verification took a month but otherwise the process was very smooth.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AT&T (Middletown, NJ) in Jan 2010
Interview
The interview was arranged by a staffing agency. The interview comprised of a written test for 75 minutes and a group interview. The test had multiple choice questions mainly in C and Perl. I had to write a logical programs too. And some analytical questions. Then I went on to meet a group of two people who asked me about my past experience. Then to another group of two people who asked me some detailed questions related to my technical experience and finally met the Hiring manager who told that the interviewers were impressed with my answer. 2 days later I got a call saying that I was selected. There was no negotiation in salary because I went through agency.
