I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pactera (Bellevue, WA) in Jun 2011
Interview
Phone interview with technical guys and have formal interview with Client company.
3 rounds. Ask about experiences and some information in the resume. Not hard but better to have experience of working with the client company before since it will be easy for you to pass the client interview.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pactera (Redmond, WA) in Mar 2011
Interview
I started with HiSoft before they became Pactera. When I started they made the customer they were contracting to do the interviews. Now I believe it is all done in house at Pactera. It really seems to depend on the contract that Pactera has with the Customer. I had a quick phone conversation not so much an interview. They asked if I was interested in interviewing and how much money I wanted. They didn't even know my name or have my resume at the time.

Like I said I was interviewing with the customer. I was asked some riddles, but that was about it.
