Graduate Rotational Engineer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas

October 1, 2015

Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

On-site interview. 4 different interviews on logic/coding/architecture/verification concepts etc. Also had two HR interviews which were a little surprising. Most of the questions were basic. Some logic questions on designing state machines were hard. I was able to answer maybe an 85% of the questions but still didn't get the offer
