Interviewed Oct 2011 in San Jose, CA (took a day)
Interviewed with PCIe team. Female engineer from Colorado asked me a reasonable nested loop question then proceeded to interrupt me at least 8 times. After the 5th interruption I gave up solving the problem and did my best not to make a scene. She continued to interrupt me then asked very condescending questions in a very sarcastic tone. I have never met, seen, or heard of a more disrespectful interviewer during my time as a professional engineer. I later met an engineer from Xilinx (Malaysia) who worked with this woman and confirmed my assessment of her. In my opinion there was an additional engineer who was insulting. He asked me very simple questions then finished with a trick question that I didn't realize until the interview was over. I'm certain that I have designed more async interfaces than the entire team combined but I'm sure he told everyone that I missed the trick async question since he insisted on taking a picture of my solution. They were typical arrogant engineers. I couldn't be more please to not be working for this team. Lastly, the position was for a SystemVerilog OVM verification engineer working on PCIe gen 3. NOT one single question on systemverilog, OVM, or PCIe. Not one.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in San Jose, CA (took 5 weeks)
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.
They emphasized the process was important, not the right answer.
Went out to lunch.
More questions.

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

Interviewed Jun 2009 in San Jose, CA (took 5 days)
Fairly standard, contacted by a recruiter, then a phone screen and then an onsite interview. Interview was very technical in nature and a few questions were asked. The questions were mostly circuits related and very pertinent to the job. I was contacted within 3 days after the interview. They did not ask much off the resume.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in San Jose, CA (took a day)
Very detailed technical interview conducted over the phone, not the typical "pre-screen" type call I was expecting. Can't imagine what the in-person interview would have been like, had they called me in! Spoke only with the hiring manager who, in fairness, was friendly.
