I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Sony (Budapest) in Oct 2009
Interview
There were altogether 4-5 rounds (can't rememeber exact number, sorry).
1. Initial selection & comms were done via an HR agency.
Package draft was discussed with HR agency.
2. There were 1-2 rounds with Sony's own HR manager.
3. There was one round with my future manager.
4. The final round was with the manager of my future manager.
