I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Cypress Semiconductor (San Jose, CA) in Apr 2012
Interview
The interview was for a Co-Op position for technical marketing.
The first step was a phone interview. It started with general questions, and then narrowing down the focus to PSoC. I had some prior experience so I was asked about the projects I had done. They dug deeper into that and asked varied questions on general MCU components.
On the marketing side, were general questions which tested how good I was at getting the complete picture and my marketing skills.
I was then asked to develop a business case, and also a simple PSoC project, and had to submit it in a few days.
This followed with another phone interview similar to the first one, but taken by another person.
