Interviewed Nov 2011 in San Jose, CA (took a day)
Interviewed with members of the Sales and Executive staff.
Informal structure, informational interview.
The culture is very Chinese. If you are Chinese this would be an asset, as there could be cultural or linguistic barriers or challenges in marketing yourself within the company. That being said, the folks I know there seem to conduct themselves with integrity, if not a lot of transparency.
You must be able to sell yourself and be very persistent.

Very sketchy and rude, wants you to work for free, TOTAL waste of your time!!!!!
Greeted with a juvenile joke from one of the interviewing manager, who bust out laughing for a complete minute, complete lack of manners.
They requested that I submit a work sample with very detailed requirements. After I had submitted my work. They held my work sample hostage, (by not submitting it to the higher ups for review) and requested that I use the company logo, colors and add addition writing content. Which sounds a lot like giving them free work!
Complete waste of time, be careful when you deal with these unprofessional people.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in San Jose, CA (took a day)
Most of the people at this company seemed to be overworked. They all had dark circles underneath their eyes. The culture I heard from the people I talked with was "Long Hours". The workers here usually work from 9am to around 7pm, and this depends on the department you are in too. The company itself is actually pretty big. They have around 1,500 employees in San Jose and 6 buildings with more buildings being built. The interview I went to was for a Hardware Validation Engineer and I don't have prior experience, but they were willing to talk to me, so I appreciated it a lot. He asked me a few personal questions and then started writing an ac/dc plus signal analysis questions down for me to solve. He wanted me to tell him the output of the waveform at two probe areas he indicated. I tried going through the problem and was able to only decipher the easy parts of the problem, but eventually was unable to solve the question. I bid him thank you and farewell.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in San Jose, CA (took 2 days)
They called after several months of submitting my resume. First interview was just a screening by the engineers. Second interview was with their manager. I felt that the manager was not very effective. Only asked one question that I couldn't answer. That doesn't mean I don't know anything. I probably know everything else besides that one. They also mentioned that there may be more interviews(3rd) and maybe a 4th with the CEO. What med-large company does that for engineer interviews? I wasn't interviewing for the VP's position!
