Process
I was hired four years back. The process has changed, and it is now usually an all-day interview here in Baltimore.
Expect a few coding questions, but they are very basic. I have not seen many people asking questions on algorithms or data structure implementations.
Questions
I was asked some SQL questions back then, which I was not prepared for but somehow made it.
