Like any large company, sometimes you are restricted to explore outside of your current domain; you tend to fill a specific niche.
Progress upwards can be challenging, as only 1-2 people on each team might get a sizeable pay bump/promotion each year.
Constant re-org changes; you build up rapport with a certain manager only to have them leave (tale of a big company).
Pass-downs of products occur often and can be problematic if other teams are not responsive and you are on the receiving end.
Continue open dialogue with frontline employees/engineers. Focus on quality over quantity.
I had a phone interview without notice. The Hiring Manager asked me about basic device physics and inverters. This was followed by an on-site interview with five one-hour rounds, where they covered device physics, logic, aptitude, and programming.
Step 1: Phone screening (approximately 35-40 minutes). Questions covered MOSFETs, probability, statistics, and projects on the resume. Step 2: Invited for on-site interviews (4 tech rounds). Detailed questions focused on logic, semiconductor physics
The company frequently implements hiring freezes, with the frequency and duration increasing over the last 5 to 8 years. Don't expect hiring to happen quickly. The company prefers to promote and grow employees internally. However, most engineers are
