I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cypress Semiconductor (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2011
Interview
The Interview process is very detailed with many people involved. One interesting thing is what I later learned they call a "Wolf Pack" of 3 or 4 people who rapidly fire questions at you. Still, the people are not antagonistic and the questions are realistic and reasonable. But you must be alert and think fast.
