Senior RF Hardware Engineer Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
I had several phone interviews and was then invited for an on-site interview. The phone interviews went well, and I was reasonably interested in proceeding to the on-site, so I accepted.
Around 12 people interviewed me throughout the day, which was certainly exhausting. Most of the sessions were technical, with some behavioral questions. Most of the interviewers were really nice and polite.
This was for a new college grad position, but I was asked questions that required relevant industry experience to answer properly. I was clear about my qualifications and background before the interview. Nevertheless, I was asked and grilled about topics I have no experience with. That was a little frustrating.
