Interview
The interview requirements are different across different BUs, some BUs have high threshold on technical details, some BUs are more focused on communications and collaboration, and it depends on different managers, some rely on the reference and relations, some rely on your documentation achievement, such as how many patents, basically, that's better to get information before the interview about who will interview you, and who is the hiring manager , and do some homework.

Interview
All the interviewers were very friendly. My interviewers were more concerned with thought process than rote-memorizing things, and would give hints along the way if I was stumped at some part as long as you explained why. I was encouraged to explain what I was thinking if there was a long pause as I was writing pseudocode for a particular task.
