      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Actian (Redwood City, CA) in Aug 2012

      First there was a phone call with hiring manager, followed by phone screen and in person interview. There were lot of questions on past experience and some algorithm questions. You have to write code on board to solve the problem.
