Interview
They did not want specify the job title I am interviewing for despite asking several times. After couple of phone screens they still managed to matched me with the wrong group that did not look for a person with my background. On top it the HR person did not know where the interview was going to take place and tried to send me to a wrong city.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Broadcom (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2007
Interview
Pretty straight forward - IF you are clear on everything you put on your resume. They grill you on every single thing thats on your resume. Other then that there were a lot of scenario type questions - how would you handle a customer that asks for something engn cannot deliver ?
