I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cepheid (Sunnyvale, CA) in May 2015
Interview
Several phone interviews from the 3rd party hiring manager led to an eventual on site interview. This included a facility tour and 3 separate interviews in a row with different managers I would work with.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked about projects I had done and why I was pursuing engineering in my studies. They asked a few personal behavior questions as well.
