Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
The hiring process for interns is pretty standard. It consisted of a phone screen and on-site interview in San Jose, CA. You could also potentially have an interview at your college.
If you really want a job with Cypress, you're going to need to be vigilant in following up with contact. They aren't very organized and frequently "forget" about their candidates.
If you're looking for a company where you will love your job and get respect from employers, run away from Cypress. Cypress cares only about one thing: being the best. They want to see profit, want to be #1, and don't care how they get there. With credit to them, they are very upfront about what sort of candidates they are looking for. If you are very results oriented and want to be the best, then perhaps Cypress is right for you.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in San Jose, CA (took 2 days)
The phone interview is pretty easy.
Cypress interview has two main components which are important:
1. Interviews on tech skills: They have 3-4 interviews on tech skills. They ask lot of real world problems on their products. They are mostly looking for logical approach rather than the best solution. The wolfpack interview has 3 people who ask questions in a rapidfire manner for 1 hour. This is a test for stress and its okay to ask for thinking time and to formulate answers carefully. This demonstrates good grasp of technology as well as ability to work under pressure.
2. Interview with questions on estimation:
Questions such as how many gas stations are there in SF or how many McDonalds exist in US. The key here is to explain the thinking process and to ask clarifying questions to the interviewer and working with them to get to a well-thought out solution
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
They do not negotiate much.
While considering an offer, take more time to decide on it and ask for more time to decide on it. This makes negotiation easier
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.
