I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Halliburton (Houston, TX) in May 2013
Interview
1 hour phone interview focused on software basics followed by onsite interview with hiring manager, a dev manager from another team I would be working with, a senior developer, and then an architect. Each session was timed to exactly 30 minutes long, and there were other candidates there that day too going through the same pipeline. Interviews were all very conversational, though the architect did grill a little more on conceptual stuff.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked how I would handle sensitive shopping cart data in an ecommerce web application if the requirement was to be completely sessionless
First interview was with HR. Second was with the entire team for leetcode style (technical round), and the third one was on site. The third round had 3 sub rounds. One was technical, and the the other was presentation and then another round with HM. I was first given the offer and then the offer was taken back because I tried to negotiate. I was told I am money driven and not team driver. Sorry wont do anything for free.
4 stages. Primarily video interviews and one onsite. First stage is just HR or recruiter followed by technical rounds. Technical rounds are challenging and real time scenarios are given for the candidate to solve.

Question 1
Tell me your weaknesses and how you are overcoming it
The first step was an online coding test, then a direct 1 on 1 interview where there were almost no technical questions but mostly general discussions about what the company was looking for.
