Interviewed May 2011 (took a day)
The whole day interview started with a brief session with a HR rep followed by two one-hour tech
interview sessions. One of the tech sessions was mainly centered around my talking about prior
project experiences. The second tech session was a problem session where I was asked to go through
the design and coding of line editor which needs to maintain lines of text to be deleted, inserted, searched
& etc. I think this is one of the typical interview problems for SW positions.
The afternoon sessions after the lunch with another interview consisted of another tech problem followed
by a brief talk with the hiring manager.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 5 days)
The interview consisted of a phone screen with HR which included some basic technical questions. Based on that, i was selected for a phone screen with the manager and i was invited for On-site after passing the screen with the manager. Since i am still waiting for the outcome of the On-site, i will only discuss questions asked on the phone.
1.) Asked about Transmission line applications with respect to proper termination and reflections due to improper termination. Basically, given a 2v source (50 ohms) connected to a transmission line with delay td and Zo(50 ohms), and terminated with a buffer at the other end, what is the voltage level on the other end of the T.L.
2.) Was asked to compute setup time and hold time violation check of a clock divider circuit.
3.)Was asked to draw some type of filter circuit and explain its function.
The above is just a summary, but the interviewer was very good in asking for specific details and determining if you understood the concepts!
I was invited for the On-site interview afterwards. The group i interviewed with were excellent people, you could see the passion and excellent communication skills at every level.

Interviewed May 2007 in Boston, MA (took 4+ weeks)
The first interview was an on-campus interview. I was asked questions on basic electronics - ex. how to design low pass/high pass filters, describe a project etc. The 2nd round was energy sapping. Had a 6 hour interview (includes a 1 hour break for lunch) with 5 different members of the team who quizzed me on every thing I had learned in the past four years of engineering. I was tested on analog/digital electronics, programming (basic C/C++ questions) and digital signal processing.
