Principal Applications Engineer Interview Experience - San Diego, California
Process
I was interviewed for AE role in California, had two telephonic interviews or 30 - 60mins and one live interview of 1 hour. Some questions were a little tricky but it was mostly general interviews to assess if I know the full PnR flow. They preferred that I knew scripting and my basics must have been sufficient for the PnR AE job. Salary negotiation took a little longer and they matched my current salary.
Questions
What are the advantages and disadvantages of routing clocks with M8/M9 instead of M4-M7?
Do you have any scripting experience (TCL)?
