Colloquio
Two phone interviews (Business then technical) asking various general questions about the position. The interviews are spread across two weeks. The interviewers ask a preset list of questions off a sheet of paper. The in person interviews are 45 min per interviewer. They will bring in a person from other departments to interview you and ask a question that has no relevance to your area. They would expect you to be a master or semi-master in all areas. I was asked hash tables, randomization techniques while developing a 3-tier infrastructure. Expect the unexpected. They will try to make you fail.
