I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at MaxLinear in Aug 2010
Interview
I got a phone call to make a schedule, two days after I applied. During the phone screen, I was asked to answer some simple RF basic and my previous works. When I missed a key point of a question, the interviewer gave a hint so that I can bring up right answer. The questions regarding RF include definition of NF and IP3. Also they asked some RF receiver architectures.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at MaxLinear (Carlsbad, CA) in Jun 2009
Interview
very disorganized interview, not from a schedule perspective, but regarding the discussions. Technical questions were not focused, many interviewers covered the same topic, some key topics were not covered.
Also, some interviewers insisted they were correct about items when they were wrong. Overall, I sensed a lot of hubris from all of the interviewers.
