Had a phone call where they asked about my projects, experience, and interests. Got an offer a few days later. Heads up, you should totally negotiate your salary because they tend to lowball you (I've heard this from others there too).

So I had this 30 min phone call that actually went over and lasted 45 mins. Then, less than an hour later, they invited me to Keysight for a full-day on-site interview. This day included breakfast/lunch, 3 hours of technical interviews, and a 1-hour presentation on any topic. Everyone was super smart, the office was great, and the whole day was awesome!

I first got contacted through university recruiting. Then I had a 30 min screening call with the hiring manager where we talked about my resume, experience, and classes. The next day, I went in for the main interview, which was 5 long hours of technical questions with 6 different people. They covered basic analog, digital, microcontroller, and firmware stuff.
