I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Altera (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
Phone interview included basic technical questions. Was also questioned about intent to move across country. After 2 weeks I was flown out for an onsite interview. Everyone seemed nice and relaxed. Questions were split between technical and brain teasers. Overall, a relaxed interview process
