Interviewed Aug 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took 2 days)
I got a call from the Manager in Xilinx. He was pretty clear in his expectations and wanted to ensure that I was fully bought into the job role before the interview process began. The interview consisted of 2 rounds. One was on HDL and the other on Problem solving. The former was pretty technical where the interviewer tested both my knowledge in the domain that I was from and the one that I was getting into. I didn't fare well in the latter. The second interview was on problem solving and it went pretty well. The interviewer assesed by familiarity with algorithms and posed questions to assess my problem solving skills. This rounds went on pretty well. Two days after the interview I was told that they expected me more breadth in the domain that I was getting into; and the interview process ended there.

Interviewed Mar 2009 (took a day)
The whole team and their manager (a director) had the 1:1 interview, it is obvious that there was no much preparation beforehand as there are quite some overlapping. The topic is broad, but not deep:
* what is class inheritance
* explain some design pattern
* what is MSVC experience
* explain some data structure
* what is career goal
There is one programming question, how to swap 2 nodes in a double linked list.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 5 days)
Onsite interview. It was organzied and professional. I knew exactly what to expect. Communication every step of the way.
Advice: come prepared. There are only 2 buildings you can check in, so pay attention to where you are going. Research the group you interview with and company.

They initially call for a phone interview which typically consists of the hiring manager followed by a panel of the team members. Mine had 3 members in it. They were mostly interested in Verilog, Perl and C++ skills. This was for a product verification role.

Standard Interview.
First manager called, then I had a technical screening over the phone.
Consisted of basic digital circuits.
Know your truth tables, timing diagrams.
Understand key concepts such as metastability.
When I went to the onsite, it was similar to phone interviews with more in depth.

Went out to lunch.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in San Jose, CA (took 2 months)
Lack of follow up on interview process.
Written communications less to be desired.
Verbal communication skills were condescending.
Lack of follow through, when you offer to do something, do it, don't just say you're going to do it.
Hand shake greeting (look people in the eyes and show some interest, it's only respectful)
Ego centric management team (interviewers and interviewees are both being reviewed).
Lack of demonstrating relationship building skills.
I wasn't impressed, maybe the dept. with is a poor example of the entire company atmosphere.

Reason for Declining
Lack of proper interviewing etiquette confirmed initial sense.
