Interviewed Dec 2009 in Las Vegas, NV (took a day)
The interviewer seemed to have some type of strange hidden agenda dealing with product promotion. I have a good deal of knowledge of what I would be doing because I have worked with the clinical support people for years. I didn't feel too bad when I found out that he had turned all 12 persons down that interviewed.The recruiters were left scratching their heads as well. In the end glad I didn't get the job not sure what this person would be like to work for.

Interviewed May 2009 in Irvine, CA (took 2 weeks)
One phone interview followed by two on-site interviews. HR and engineering managers had different understanding of the position from upper management. Interviews were not difficult with managers and staff, but became quite difficult with the VP, who asked surprisingly detailed technical questions, requiring reference book look-up, almost like doing a dissertation defense.

Interviewed Jul 2008 in Sunnyvale, CA (took 2 weeks)
Was called on the phone by the head of clinical engineering, given a phone interview, and one week later flown out to be interviewed by everyone in the division (about 9 people, one at a time). The process took the entire day, and most of the questions were about why I wanted to do a Ph.D. I believe they had already decided to give me the offer because of my adviser at my University, and the success they had with a previous employee who had worked under him.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Sunnyvale, CA (took a day)
This is a very conservative company. They want you to be working on old technologies and even the upper management agreed on this.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Santa Clara, CA (took a day)
I had to complete a small questionare with my resume and cover letter submission, such as why was I looking for a new position, did I have any IC characterization experience and a few other questions that I can't recall. Within 1 week, I received a phone call from HR setup the interview this the hiring manager, who was a Sr. Hardware Engineer. I did not realize that it would be a technical interview and was nervous immediately after I was asked technical questions because I had not been notified there will be a technical interview for the first phone screen.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took a day)
First I made a presentation to the group. I think this was included because I was a recent graduate from a PhD program. They wanted to test my scientific communication skill by presenting my research work in 20 mins in a understandable way for a layman. Then there are 5 to 6 1:1 interviews, each 30 -45 mins. Not that hard, basically just chatting with them. It was an overall pleasant experience. I did get an offer from them but this offer was later put on hold because of a company-wise hiring freeze.
