Interviewed May 2012 in San Diego, CA (took a day)
Sent my Resume to my friend, who forwarded it to his Manager.
I got a mail from the Manager asking for the times when I am free to have a quick Interview.
Got a confirmation mail regarding the Interview date.
It was a 45 minutes Phone Interview, which was basically
a round of Technical Interview mostly related to verilog.
The Interview should go fine as far as you remember
stuff from your projects and especially the verilog commands.
Questions that were asked were:
Basic Questions on Verilog.
Verilog code for some implementations.
Continuous assignments, Procedural Assignments.
Blocking Vs Non Blocking...etc etc
Few more, but am not able recall all of them...
All the Best! :)

Interviewed Jan 2012 in San Diego, CA (took a day)
During the phone interview, I talked for 1 hour with the group leader. He mainly asked me questions about concepts of operating systems and C programming, e.g., what is static variable in C, what is auto variable, what is race condition and what is the difference between process and thread, and the like.
I was informed to take the on-site in roughly two days after that.
During the on-site interview process, I was interviewed by four people. Questions include operations on linked list, embedded system, how a process is functioning, how to test a segment of memory using C and some questions related to my resume, mainly about my past education and working experience.
The office and work culture look pretty nice. Suggestions to other candidates would be to familiar with operating system concepts and details of using C, especially when you ask for a firmware design or test engineer which is more related to hardware level.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in San Diego, CA (took 6 days)
The interviewer(s) called half an hour late claiming to have forgotten the deadline (after I sent an email reminder) . The interviewer(s) was(were) courteous and I was asked basic and simple RF IC design/sizing questions relating to receiver design. I was left with the impression they were looking through my CV for the first time. It lasted only 30 minutes and I did not get the chance to ask any questions about the position due to the shortage of time. A week later, on asking for a reply, I received a response in the negative.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in San Diego, CA (took 1 week)
The whole process from initial phone screen to the actual written offer took less than two weeks and gave me an impression of a well oiled machine. Recruiters and interviewers were efficient and "to the point" the whole time. The face-to-face interview consisted of a Group interview, which lasted an hour and one-on-one meetings with most of the Group interview participants. The overall impression was very positive. Apparently on both sides.
