Interviewed Aug 2011 (took a day)
The phone interview took an hour on a Saturday and we have subsequently set up in-house interview the following week. There were 5 rounds of interviews, each with 1 to 2 interviewers. Most questions were focus on the technical know-hows and experience in solving design questions. The work culture appears to be very chaotic and unorganized. However, there seems to be room for the company to grow.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
I was contacted by an in-house recruiter. After a short phone call with him, a phone screen was set up.
The phone screen took approximately 1 hour. I was only few questions (OOPs concept,C++), which I had to code in a shared Google doc. After I was finished, I had a chance to ask the other person questions. A few hours after the phone screen was finished I received a mail from my recruiter... they wanted to set up a another technical round .
The second round was on Javascript,HTML,CSS.
They emailed me about a week after the onsite interview to let me know that they weren't going forward with me.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Irvine, CA (took a day)
First I have been called on my phone and the hiring manager talked to me for about 30 minutes.
Then, I was called for in-site. Interviewed by 8-9 persons both in San Diego and Irvine for whole day.
The questions were simple DSP questions. Some were very specific like exactly what they were working on not general DSP questions. They were looking for more hands-on and practical people. I think Master's graduates were more proper for their group. I think they would have to read my resume more carefully.
Interview Questions
Why do we need lp filter ... simple DSP questions ...

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Irvine, CA (took 2 days)
Interviewed with 10 product engineers/managers, all in one day. It was 45 minutes per session, with a 90 minutes lunch interview with the hiring manager and a senior product engineer. For the first 9 interviewers, I felt that it went relatively well with questions regarding product engineering responsibilities such has managing products from the design phase, to production release, to finally end-of-life. We talked about cost saving projects, test correlations, device characterization, and reliability qualifications for products (HTOL, ESD, Latch Up), and package (HAST, HTS, TC), etc, etc...
