Process
The interview process included:
- One screening interview.
- Five separate 50-minute interviews conducted back-to-back.
- Three technical interviews.
- One behavioral interview.
- One "team environment" behavioral interview.
Technical interviews were tough and in-depth. They were looking for subject matter experts, and I was just shy of that.
The online portal was helpful, and communication was good. The entire process, from first contact to denial, took about one month.
Questions
High-speed PCB theory and design, transmission line equations.
