I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at ViXS (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2011
Interview
After applying online, got a email a few days later from a manager which led to an interview the following week.
Brush up on optimized memory copy routines, linked lists and C syntax.
Generally a very negative atmosphere. No attempt to sell you on the company: why you should work there, how good the work environment is etc. That any questions concerning the company were extremely vague.

A few engineers from the group held the interview first. Basically all questions were focus on technical stuff, e.g. C/C++ programming and system level questions. Then the manager came in to chat a little bit. Overall the whole procedure was pleasant and they were all nice and friendly.
