I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ericsson (Atlanta, GA) in Jan 2013
Interview
A team from Ericsson came to our career fair. I submitted my CV there and had a short 15 min at the spot interview by a manager in their RF team who was present at the occasion. Then I was invited to a detailed interview conducted in campus the next day. the Interview was mostly technical focusing on my prior work experience, courses studied and about general concept of telecom and networking

Question 1
Was asked about how GMSK protocol works in GSM...had studied it and known it..but couldn't recall at the last moment.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ericsson (Plano, TX) in Jun 2012
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter who had come across my resume. He sent me he position description and asked if I was interested. I went and submitted a more recent copy of my resume and a cover letter.
Two weeks later I was contacted again for an initial interview. I went in for what turned out to be a 2 hour, very informal interview. We mostly discussed the structure of the company as a whole, and what exactly they needed out of me. The questions were very standard i.e: what are you looking to get out of this? How many hours can you dedicate? Tell me about the rest of your resume etc.
I then had another informal group interview where I covered many of the same things and got to know the team. At this point, I had a follow up with the recruiter and was subjected to a drug screening and background test along with an offer of employment.
