I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Broadcom (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2010
Interview
Setup for an interview through a few acquaintances at the company. Interview was technical as all the interviewers had the pet questions. They were all friendly and to the point. I liked the questions in general and thought them fair.
The office was a little more dampy before but has been renovated a fair bit. It is much more lively now.
