Interviewed Mar 2011 in Boise, ID (took a day)
I was a Masters student when I was interviewed, so they asked me basic questions like cross section of an NMOS, its V-I characteristics, a couple of logical questions on this like how the curves shift if a resistor is added at its drain, etc, a couple of questions on DRAM, its leakage paths, clocking, etc, CMOS logic, temperature effects on the mobility of charge carriers in an NMOS, etc and some basic C programming questions about pointers, etc. Some questions were quite tricky like "Write a C program which performs multiplication operation without using the multiplication operator", etc.
The interview started at 10 AM in the morning and ended at 4 PM in the evening. I had six interview sessions and each session had two interviewers, one the manager of the respective test division (e.g., burn-in) and a head engineer from that division. After the first interview, I was fortunate enough to be invited for lunch with one of the senior test engineers there, we talked about a lot of things ranging from my technical interests to Micron's past to the city of Boise. He also took me on a tour of their testing and fabrication facilities. It felt truly enticing to know that the memory chips that sit in our computers come from here! The final interview session consisted of the DRAM and the Probe and Test Managers. This was mentally slightly stressful in comparison to the others and most of it was C-programming. In the end, at around 4 PM, my recruiter escorted me out from the manager's cabin to the front desk and let me off.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Boise, ID (took 2 days)
Comfortable interview environment. Interviewers were interested in hiring me but the technical recruiter (HR) was not comfortable with my salary requirements. My current salary was significantly higher than they typically offer so I wasn't offer the position.

Interviewed May 2010 in Boise, ID (took 2 days)
The interview consisted of several phases. Initially spoke with a recruiter on the University campus. During that interview I was given a short test including a mix of CS and EE questions. Later, I was contacted by a Sr. Developers and Project manager for a phone interview which consisted of the same mix of CS/EE design questions. Upon completion I was flow-in to Boise, ID for an on campus interview. The final interview was heavily technical ranging from digital logic, analog and CS questions. I must say the overall experience and accommodations were great.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Folsom, CA (took 2 weeks)
Applied for a position in the Numonyx Job Portal in early March, 2011.
Got a phone call from the Team Manager on early April.
Phone Interview was for 30 - 40 minutes, asked questions related to my projects and various tools.
Explained about the job responsibilities and other logistics.
Short Listed for the On-Site Interview a week later.
On Site Interview consisted of five one on one rounds,
Four of them were technical and one was a Behavior/Skills round.
Each interviewer asked a chain of technical questions related to their field followed by a quick Behavior questions.
Behavior Questions consisted of Failure Analysis, Work Ethics, relationship with Professors/Supervisors, Working towards Deadlines, Documenting skills etc.
Technical Interview was stressed upon the CMOS Design, Basic Digital Design Concepts (Logic Minimization, analysis of NAND/NOR Gates), Timing Analysis (Reduction of critical path delays) and Knowledge of PERL and other scripting languages.
Also stressed briefly on Layouts and Standard Cell Design. Concentrate more on I-V Curves and Power Consumption.
The Interviewers involved the team members, team manager and managers of other groups working closely with this group.
The Group was relatively very young so they made me comfortable with anecdotes from their college experiences and their experience with various professors and courses.
The interview was lively and low stress. Confidence is the key.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Boise, ID (took 2 days)
This was an initial interview from a gentleman from Boise, ID. He came to our University and set up appointments for interviews the next day. I came and was given a 45 minute skills test that went well. He also did a presentation the day before, in the evening. I enjoyed his personality and explanations. The only trouble I have is the recent layoffs I have heard about. Though I've also heard they're loyal to employees. Good location and interesting projects.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 2 weeks)
The hiring process was very transparent and open. There was one HR interview and five to six technical interviews on ONE day. They judge basic device fundamentals along with some practical industry problems one may face being a process integration engineer. They asked some state of the art integration issues being faced in Advanced CMOS process Integration. Also gave some good overview of the whole group what it does and which other group it caters.

Phone screening interview with HR. Phone interview with section leader. Site visit with interviews with 4 engineers and a hiring manager. They seemed to be looking for someone that was looking for team work t/s and someone that would handle a team member that wasn't pulling their weight. After the Engineers interviewed we went on a quick tour of the fabrication site.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 3 weeks)
Interview was ok. One of the interviewer was chatty, thus it was easy to talk more during the interview. But the other didnt go so well. Could sense that the interviewer was not very interested in me. But the company seems to be 1 big family.
Interview was conducted in a fairly casual setting as compared to the interviews in the financial sector.
