I applied in-person. I interviewed at Hittite Microwave (Istanbul) in May 2013
Interview
The interview went smoothly. İ was asked about my previous experiences and works. Detailed questions on basic RF concepts. The interview was on the phone. Chief engineer and general manager called seperately.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Hittite Microwave (Boston, MA) in Jun 2009
Interview
Was referred to this "prestigious" high achieving company by a former colleague. No particular position was discussed prior or during the on-site interview (which in hindsight should have alerted me). It was really an attempt to de-brief my knowledge of their COMP who I worked for. They never even offered to reimburse my (small) travel expense. Yankee ingenuity and frugality all wrapped up in one I guess.
