I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Ericsson (Baile Átha Luain) in Apr 2008
Interview
I was relocating from USA back to Ireland, and was interested in a job in the midlands of Ireland. Phone interviewed while still in USA, and then interviewed on-site in Ericsson Athlone. The position was somewhat outside my field of expertise, as I was a more low-level hardware/firmware programmer, and they were looking for a database, SQL level programmer. Interview was not difficult, mostly talked about my previous experience. A lot of questions about software process, Agile development process, Java, distributed systems.
I interviewed at Ericsson (Cairo, Cairo Governorate)
Interview
First interview was Technical interview that contains questions about your experience and programing questions for your preferred programming languages (Java or python) and other questions related to database and messaging brokers
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Programming language related questions and database
The interview was not very technical. it asked about everything on the resume and it was just a conversation. He even asked whether I had a girlfriend and my hobbies and so on.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ericsson (Budapest)
Interview
First, you have to do a bunch of online tests.
Multiple choice technical tests, coding test (if relevant), personality tests.
Then you either interview for the position you applied to, or you are thrown in a "pool interview" where multiple managers are interviewing you for multiple positions at the same time.
After the pool interview, I received an offer from one of the managers involved.

Question 1
It was a while ago, but they asked the usual stuff, like what technologies I had worked with, what responsibilities I had at my current position, and what I was looking for in a job.
