IC Verification Interview Experience - San Jose, California

June 1, 2013
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Initial communication was fine and quickly followed up with two on-site interviews.

One was with the hiring manager and another with a technical team.

What stood out in the technical interview was that only one of the three interviewers asked actual technical questions. The other two just talked about their work and asked me about mine.

Unfortunately, the one real technical interviewer focused primarily on physical design, which I had never worked on and was unrelated to the job I interviewed for.

During the interview, I was asked if I was married, had kids, how old they were, and where they went to school.

Not one but two interviewers mentioned they didn't know they had any open positions. I suspect they didn't.

There was no further communication after the interview at all from either the hiring manager or the recruiter.
