I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at LSI (Minneapolis, MN) in Feb 2011
Interview
First round phone interview with the hiring manager who wanted to understand my career goals etc. Basically asked me to summarize my work ex.
Then an onsite interview, where I was again asked to describe my work to their team(3 members) and the various tools I used in the projects. Then a 1:1 interview with one of their engineers. He asked questions on "volatile" keyword, interrupts, co-operative scheduling etc. Then another team member showed me the lab, and explained the work they do in the labs. Finally, another round with the manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Apart from work ex, what other interesting projects you did at college?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LSI in Jan 2013
Interview
Two rounds of phone screenings, followed by on-site interviews. The on-site interview process consisted of a an intro by the HR, followed by technical interviews by engineers and managers. You are expected to be an expert C programmer (you should know difference between static and non-static objects, stack and heap allocation, things like "volatile"), and an expert in firmware and device drivers. Storage experience (SCSI, RAID) helps.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at LSI (Atlanta, GA) in Mar 2012
Interview
Initially it was a telephonic interview. I was contacted two weeks after the first interview for an onsite. The telephonic interview consisted of questions from C. Pointers, arrays and structures and bit manipulation. After that was an onsite interview, It was a really long process. Started at 9:30 am and finished at 5:30 in the evening. It was a lot more in detail. Pointers, arrays, structures, unions. Bit manipulation, assembly language, embedded and real time systems were part of the interview.
