I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Sony Electronics (San Jose, CA) in May 2009
Interview
Initial screening was done in phone. This was done by the hiring manager. Cleared that level and was asked to come for a group / 1 on 1 meeting. There were around 7 engineers who did 1 on 1 interview. Moderate technical questions which was easier to handle. After 1 day was contacted by HR and offered the job.
