Interviewed Mar 2012 in Austin, TX (took 2 weeks)
First, I received a phone call from the hiring hiring manager to set up the interview. The 1st phone interview lasted about an hour with the hiring manager and a team member. They explained the kind of products their department makes and then asked me about my academic experience and interests. I was asked to go through, in detail, about any projects that I was involved in and went through my resume.
I was called within a week for a 2nd phone interview and they asked me to elaborate on a specific project of mine, and I was given options for the projects to discuss (listed on my resume). They wanted to know exactly how what the steps involved, both software and hardware in a lot of detail.

I was contacted by the recruiter 2 days after my 2nd phone interview. He let me know the starting and end dates. Asked me how much I expected to get paid. I was offered more than my expectation. Went very smooth and the whole process from the initial contact to offer was 2 weeks.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Austin, TX (took 4+ weeks)
Called me at 9:00pm. mostly about circuit design details but not MOSFET oriented, a lot of system and stability questions. The ppl there are more like elite. I would suggest ppl review the book material more carefully when preparing the interview

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Santa Clara, CA (took a day)
I showed up to interview for a senior position. The first person I met with didn't even have my resume, but she didn't care. She didn't really know anything about my background anyways, so she asked me questions you might ask someone fresh out of college, and she didn't like my approach. Next I talked to the manager for a while - he asked me about something I did years ago. When he didn't like my answer, he said "Oh, I guess you didn't really do this thing you put on your resume." That's not the kind of person I want to work for, so I just shut it down right there. Bunch of cocky bastards here.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Austin, TX (took 4 days)
New office has really nice view and people are nice. The interviewer wants you to tell specifically when asked. They throw just general question and you have to explain more in detail. Technical portion is simple and straight forward. Asked to program a quick function.
