Was asked to give a phone interview. Recruiter contacted me and then set up a date for a telephone call. Was asked to code some TopCoder division I style problems in about 45 minutes. Afterwards, the recruiter gave some feedback and then let me know that they would contact me again.

Interview
I got two interviews and the interviewers were very nice. And the recruiter was also very friendly.
You can ask them for any help. You can choose a proper date for your interviews, I suggest you have enough time to prepare it. Reading books and doing exercises will be very helpful

Interview
I went my university's career fair, applied online, received an internal referral from an alumnus, and had two technical phone interviews on the same day. The coding questions were not exceedingly difficult algorithmically, but I did fumble a bit at first. It's important to keep talking about your ideas with the interviewer, work through examples before you start coding, and discuss potential shortcomings of your solution once you're done.
