Technical
After I gave my resume to a nice engineer at a job fair, I had just one phone screen. The interviewer called an hour early, which surprised me. The questions were really focused on the languages and projects I had on my resume. The interviewer was polite but didn't let me know I didn't get the job, even when I followed up.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Extensive Java trivia questions were asked.

Coding Technical Other
Had a phone interview and some online coding tests. The onsite interview was really cool with fun coding puzzles and algorithms, and even games. It was conducted by really skilled engineers. The questions were better than what you usually see at other places.
Confirmed questions1 question
- If you have a solid CS background these questions are not particularly hard; some of them even playful or open ended.

Technical Coding Behavioral
I had a phone interview first, and the interviewer was really nice. The questions were pretty basic, like about classes vs. objects and interfaces, plus some simple algorithms I can't recall. It wasn't tough, but I didn't get any more interviews, and the position closed later.
