Graduate Engineer Interview Experience - Boston, Massachusetts
Process
On-campus interview.
Purely technical interview for 45 minutes - interviewer was not interested in prior work and did not know anything about the department (RF analog electronics) which I was interested in or the related field.
Questions asked:
- Derive output and gain of simple amplifier (preferably without drawing small-signal model)
- Draw Bode-plots for RLC filter
- And more in the category of basic analog electronics
Did fairly well at the interview and received the interviewer's business card but never heard from them again - no rejection, no nothing. Tried calling, emailing, calling HR, and absolutely no response. Got an automated email that they'll be back in office in 6 months. Weird.
Questions
No unexpected questions, but know your stuff
- Rehearse the fundamental amplifier theory, circuit theory, filter theory and so on
- Everything pertaining to basic analog electronics.
Be convincing, because the interviewer might try to get you to doubt your own answers even when they're correct.

- 4.0Analog DevicesGraduate Engineer • Current EmployeeLimerick, IrelandFebruary 2, 2024Pros: It is a good place to work and grow.Cons: There were some level of bureaucracy issues.
- 5.0Great place to workGraduate Engineer • Current EmployeeLimerick, IrelandDecember 17, 2012Pros: Brilliant technology, interesting work and excellent people. I started as a grad this summer and so far, it's been a great experience. The people are great here and all so friendly. I've gotten to know people outside my group and everyone is so open to help and answer every question that you have. You can't beat the atmosphere here. My manager and team have been brilliant. They haven't thrown me in the deep end but I have been given challenging work from the start. Whenever I get stuck on something, there's someone to answer my questions.Cons: The building I work in has no windows and it's so dark and miserable looking.
- 2.0Limited chance for AdvancementProduct Engineer • Current EmployeeBoston, MassachusettsJuly 28, 2009Pros: There are still a lot of brilliant engineers at Analog. They are very good at minimizing layoffs and cut backs. The company has a very good 401(k).Cons: Twenty years ago, Analog was the leader and other semis looked to what we were doing and imitated us. Now we are too scared to take calculated risks and be the leaders of the industry. We wait to see what everybody else is doing and get in line with them. (especially in regards to compensation) Not a lot of excitement. The type of personality that thrives at Analog is one that doesn't like change and just cares about getting a steady paycheck. They're willing to let their career be stagnant in exchange for that job security and steady paycheck.
