Contacted first by a recruiter, followed by a four-hour on-site interview. No phone screen.

It was over a decade ago, and mine was not a typical hiring process. I had specialized domain knowledge that is rare in India. The hiring manager knew me and sought me out through a headhunter. Hence, it was a simple conversation—not an interview!

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.
