I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cypress Semiconductor in Mar 2012
Interview
The company came to our college as part of our campus recruitment program.
The initial written aptitude and technical test was relatively difficult compared to other companies that visited our college. What followed was 2 interviews where 2-3 people interview you on the very basic electronics stuff.
My advice to other candidates is to get your basics & only basic right.

Interview
Was conducted in campus. Resume shortlisting was done. Shortlisted students were expected to give a written test comprising of 4 sections: Aptitude, C Programming, Systems, Analog and Digital.
