I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Riverbed Technology (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2011
Interview
I had an initial fit interview on the phone and then 4 on site interviews with the hiring manager and his peers. After that, I received an offer and started 3 weeks later. The process was very straightforward and simple.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I felt I was well prepared, so none of the questions seemed particularly difficult. They probed for area expertise and understanding of the business space, but nothing unreasonable.
