I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NetLogic Microsystems (Mountain View, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
One screening phone call
One onsite interview
Friendly interview talked to 5 people
The director i talked to was the most demanding of all
They all seemed very much into what they were doing.
Not sure what type of general perspective you can get
People seemed competent though.
