Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
Interviewed with a Micron recruiter. About 30 min in total. Spent the first 2/3 of the time on discussing my resume, and was asked how my projects could be directly applied to their business. The rest 1/3 was on my education history, motivation, whether I was OK to take the background check, etc.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Boise, ID (took a day)
I met with a recruiter at my college, and was given two technical questions. I did both of these, and got a phone call about a week later inviting me out to an on campus interview. They flew me out the day before the interview and put me in a hotel downtown. I met with an HR person, and was escorted to the first of five hiring managers, each one leading to the next. Each hiring manager asked me two to three technical questions, plus one or two soft questions. The whole process took about 3 hours. I felt like I nailed most of the technical questions, but alas, no offer.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Boise, ID (took 2 months)
Interviewed for a Workforce Development position, and haven't heard yet about the outcome. The company first contacted me for screening interview in early December and my on-site interview was in February, so there was some delay. The interview was comprised of a presentation, 2 individual interviews and 2 group interviews. Team members seemed friendly and intelligent, and had very good questions to ask. It's one of the longer interviews I've been through at about 4 hours without much of a break, so it wasn't easy. All in all, I'd say it was a good experience.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Boise, ID (took 4 weeks)
After being contacted via email, my first HR phone interview was within a week. This preliminary interview was just to assure the company I had the credentials I had claimed. The second phone, a conference call, interview was not long after. The two interviewers asked questions regarding my previous work and general knowledge questions.
Overall, the interview was a positive experience. However, two weeks after the interview, I contacted HR again and was told there were no results yet. Another two weeks have passed with no indication.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 days)
First step of the interview was a screening process done over the phone by a HR representative. Next was a technical phone interview with the hiring managers. Some technical questions were asked involving some of the fundamentals of process control engineering. If I had advanced, there would have been an on-site interview.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Boise, ID (took a day)
First was a phone interview that lasted 30mins, with the hiring manager and his colleague. Technical (work ex related) and no personality questions.Was invited on site to Idaho at the end of the call with the trip expenses and accommodation paid for (also included a tour of the Boise city).
Interviews were an elaborate and long process lasting the whole day (lunch included). Most of the questions from the leads/managers are prepared in advance, while the rest are impromptu (based on your resume and some fundamentals)
Day typically starts with 30mins recruiter (just profiling), followed by two 1-1 30min sessions with engineers from the team the position is from (testing the fundamentals of the process applied for), Followed by hiring manager (mostly involving questions on prev work ex from your resume and some situations of how would you approach a certain technical challenge related to module applied for) and some surprise logic questions. This is followed by a lunch with lead engineer and a couple of other engineers, the interview process continues during lunch as-well. Lunch is followed by interviews two 30min 1-1 sessions with the leads (technical) and also involved a logic test (strange). The day ends with a short ivw with the group director (although it is short, the questions are bang on and you are left in awe as to how can a person be so spot on. ). The day ends with the hr assisting you out of the bulding. And rest of the evening you are left to ureself, pondering on your performance.
Don't loathe yourself for not answering a few qs to your expectation although you knew them pretty well. It is humane to think of the wrong answers and their weight in negativity multiplies exponentially in ure mind as you keep thinking about it. I guess if you do well at about 75-80% of the questions you stand a pretty good chance. Thats about it folks, a 7hr process decides a short span of ure future.

Negotiation Details
No negotiation, offer was decent. Typically they do not under quote, and if its within +/-2.5k of your expectation, just take it because the negotiation involves not only the hr but also the hiring manager behind the scenes ( supplement the rest with passion folks! ).

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Manassas, VA (took a day)
I was working in Mircon's co-work company in Taiwan for 2 years. I am familiar with Test Engineer position in the field. I search the data sheet from their website and read roughly, because I used to read a lot of data sheets while I was in last job. I caught the point and what they are working for. On the other hand, I called my former colleagues. They have been working in Micron's headquarter in Boise. I got some precious information.
Second, I search from Glassdoor for some interview questions. They do ask me the some questions from the past.
In short, it is my first phone interview in US. Their questions are not difficult and basically to their job.
I didn't answer well due to my poor English and nervous. So, I suggest if you will have an interview, just prepare well and answer confidently. Have a nice job!

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Boise, ID (took 2 days)
I visited the college career fair and met with the Micron people who took my resume and indicated that there will be a presentation that night. I went to the presentation and they gave us pizza afterwards. They called me that night to set up a interview the next day. I did a one on one interview and they asked me questions regarding nmos gates, how they are set up and work and how to make logic gates using p and nmos gates, they also asked me questions regarding and, or and xor gates to debug a system. He indicated that his managers would decide if they would call me for an interview. I got the call after about a month and they paid for a flight and hotel to interview me. I interviewed with 4 people that were managers in the department. The asked me some similar questions, questions about semiconductors and hole vs electron carriers mobility and how to compensate for it, how a ac signal applied to an r-c circuit would look and how the voltage would change if you put a capacitor that was charged in parallel with another capacitor so that the charge would balance between the two and what the new voltage would be. Overall everyone was nice and helpful and positive.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 1 week)
The first interview was with HR person through the phone. It was a generic HR type of interview. He was basically looking for a fit. I had another phone interview with hiring manger in the department which I applied to. He basically asked me questions about my background and experiences. Some technical questions and some personality questions. The final interview was on-site interview. I met with 5 different people and it took me the whole day. They were very friendly and they were looking for a specific technical and software skills.
