Process
The first round is aptitude, followed by technical questions. The next two rounds are interviews, followed by HR. The interview is one-to-one. The third round took me 2 hours.
Questions
Most of the questions were on C and operating systems. The questions I faced were on semaphores and interrupt handling mechanisms.

Great technical work, but lots of pitfalls
Engineer • Current Employee
San Diego, California, United States
May 1, 2012
Pros: Job Stability (San Diego can be good or bad).
Good technical work if you are willing to work hard.
Benefits.
Cons: Salary:
Was offered lower than some start-ups. HR plays hardball and leaves no room for negotiation. Ended up getting 6k more than originally quoted. You tend to start off with unhappy employees. Bonuses are probably the industry's lowest.
Team dynamics:
Every group has its own kind of politics. Usually, it will involve middle management, who does nothing but manage. Most of these people lack the technical skills to remain in the company, but due to an extremely bad review process, they will linger on.
Most of the middle management is content to manage up and give more work to people under them. So, most of the engineers leave after 2-3 years. Bad talent sticks around.
