The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cypress Semiconductor in Aug 2010
Interview
I was first contacted by telephone, and spoke with a manager and then with an engineer.
I came in for an in-person interview and was provided a schedule. I was then ushered into a small, windowless room. Several interviewers spoke with me by speakerphone.
I was asked several times to describe a time that I argued my position successfully, and how I handled conflicts. The "wolf pack" asked me to perform complicated trigonometry calculations on a whiteboard, and later asked me to write some C++ code on a whiteboard. I sensed that oral debate is an important part of the culture there, even at the engineering level.
At the end of the day, I asked if I could see the engineering lab, as I had not been shown anything other than the small, windowless room.
The people (other than the manager) seemed very professional, although the prevalence of company-logo shirts was a bit off-putting. Overall, it seemed like a rather impersonal work environment.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cypress Semiconductor (New York, NY)
Interview
Applied online, got interview call from the hiring manager the same day, in one week the interview was scheduled. Know your basics well, interview consisted of a total of 7 rounds

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cypress Semiconductor (Irvine, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
3 Onsite interviews, 2 Phone interviews. Ranging from interview with tentative manager, team members, directors, and fellows.

I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Cypress Semiconductor
Interview
Got shortlisted thorugh job fair.
then One on campus interview, one phone screening and then onsite.

Question 1
nothing difficult. asked system level stuff like bypass capacitor, Sram bus interface,uart.
So if you are design person, you may be unware of board level stuff. so just be careful.
