The recruiter was very cooperative, and we started off on a good note.

Before the onsite interview, I had one phone interview with one of the lead architects. It was about an hour chat on some practical questions on failure analysis and basic EE-related questions.

Onsite was 6 rounds, with 45-minute interview time per person. Questions covered:

• Firmware
• Algorithms
• Puzzles and pseudocode to solve them
• HW questions specific to my area of expertise

I was a bit disappointed that the team expressed great enthusiasm to get me onboard. The recruiter called a week later and informed me of this, making sure I was still available as I was interviewing with other companies. However, two weeks later, he came back with no offer and a poor thank-you note.
