Process
Interviewed with 8 people which took all day. Most asked about background experience and a project that stood out. Technical questions about circuit engineering, and layout were also asked. There were "What would you do to solve this" type questions.
The people were nice, but the work culture would be to work long hours, and most weekends.
Questions
Which layers are best used for routing? Why?
