I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Broadcom in Dec 2007
Interview
Very Detailed interview that goes through 6 people asking hands on question about your experience and lots of quiz questions. The person you meet are very courtesies and seems like have good knowledge about industry related issues. There was questions about tools, languages that you use and also about past experience. They seems to be very specific about experiences and ask details question about them. You better not bluff on your experiences.
