The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CA Technologies (Framingham, MA) in Jan 2008
Interview
1 phone screening interview to establish if you have worked in a team environment and basic questions from your skills mentioned in your resume etc.
Next was a 5 hour on site interview with 5 team members, each member taking about 1 hour. Due to the nature of the products that CA builds, the focus was more on abstract computer science concepts as opposed to a particular language like Java. Although they asked programming language specific questions but what they were looking for was solid fundamentals on computer science concepts. Questions like deadlock resolution techniques and algorithms, concurrency issues, performance issues, data structures etc. The focus was heavily on technical and analytical skills and little on soft skills.
