Spent about 4-5 for interview. Very technical as well. They want the best talent and reason why they are do so well. Just compare google maps to here maps and you can see why their maps are SO much better.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at HERE Technologies (Bengaluru) in June 2018
Interview
HR Team is very quick and responding.Interview process took less than a week including releasing offer letter.First round was assignment on Java to judge your coding skills. Next they call for technical round of interviews followed by MR and HR.
Good thing about HR team is they will not say we will get back to you.They will quickly give the feedback whether its positive or negative.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at HERE Technologies (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2017
Interview
I got a call from technical recruiter after few weeks of my online application submission. He asked general background question and scheduled interview with team lead. I had 1 hour technical interview with him and they will ask wide range of question like core java, data structure, algorithm, Scala and do some code exercise for half an hour.
I passed the technical interview with team lead and then they scheduled onsite interview with other team members. Cannot disclose questions because of NDA. But this interview is pretty easy than the first technical interview.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HERE Technologies (Bengaluru) in Dec 2016

As I am located at Hyderabad, all interviews are telephonic/skype calls.
I had 6 telephonic rounds. First one with in India, next 3 from Chicago, 5th one from Bangalore (Panel interview over skype call), 6th one is HR round from Mumbai.
Questions are very generic and architecture oriented. If you are confident in you and what you say, its very easy. Your confidence levels are tested and your spontaneity to the questions. And have a genuine and good reason for job change. Before apply, know what the company is and what it do. Know clearly about your job description for which you are applying.
Asked about my current/recent project. I have handfull of stuff over it, so ended up with it and didnt go to other projects.
Amazon Web Services is a BIGG plus for me.
