Interviewed Feb 2011 (took a day)
Unscheduled telephone call: I was not expecting the call and was in the middle of another project. The interview started by asking a technical question about systemverilog - write code in your head - image the design. ---- I refuse to recite coding standards. Actually, I refer to book and the internet if I cannot remember a systemverilog rule - duh!

Interviewed Aug 2007 in San Jose, CA (took 1 week)
They were very through. They asked very technical questions with a lot of theoretical questions. They did not let on to how they were leaning at all during the interview process. They knew they were in the drivers set and did not go out of their way to try to lure me.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Santa Clara, CA (took a day)
We had talked about my resume, and the work I had done previously with my former company. The interviewer went into details of the Cadence tool for which the AE would be responsible for if he were to get the job. In the end, they found other interviewees with more experience with that particular Cadence Tool.
