I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at PTC (Neu-Delhi)

The process was simple, one screening interview and then a panel interview.
The interviewers were friendly and encouraging. I did not feel nervous even while answering difficult questions.
My experience with the HR and hiring manager was good.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at PTC (Needham, MA) in Apr 2011
Interview
No company standard for interviewing. It is up to the hiring manager/group. After a brief telephone screening, there is a fairly standard, in-person, tech interview lasting about three hours, including speaking with hiring manager for perhaps an hour, then various QA, development, and possibly design team members for thirty minutes each. Not usually multiple rounds of interviews for QA engineers.
