I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Broadcom (Sunnyvale, CA) in Apr 2014
Interview
They interviewed me and then never bothered to email or call me either way. I did not appreciate that. I made alot of effort to prepare and attend interview and traveled far to attend it, and felt the interview went well, so to not have heard from them in ANY way whatsoever afterwards was a mild annoyance.

C - data structures, embedded basics, state machines.
Questions on previous positions to understand the knowledge depth. Challenging issues solved in previous jobs.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Broadcom (Bengaluru)
Interview
It was not one of the better interviews I have faced. Interviewers believed more in the process of "elimination" rather than "choosing" the candidate. The attitude of the interviewers was unnecessarily aggressive and it seemed like they were trying to show off their superiority and put down the candidate who had come for interview. The hiring manager's questions were very vague and unclear.
The product line is definitely very good and work does seem to be interesting but have my apprehensions about the team.
