Applications Engineering Interview Experience - San Diego, California
Process
I had the onsite interview through an employee referral.
Apart from asking what is on your resume, they also tried to check my general analytical skills. I lacked RF/baseband experience, but they had an urgent need for someone with that background. They wanted to bring me in as a contractor, which I kindly declined.
Questions
I wrote a "return to zero" pattern to toggle a few signals. I wrote it in ATL language, which the interviewer had no clue about.
CMOS-based NAND/NOR gates. D latches/flip-flops using CMOS gates.

- 1.0Disappointed upper management teamStaff Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Diego, California, United StatesAugust 12, 2016Pros: Not much to say. It was good for benefit.Cons: The Director of the Network team manages the network team with his Asian style, basically treating himself as the "god of the team". If you don't make him happy, no matter how good you are, you are a second-class citizen of the team. He will prompt you just because he doesn't want you to escalate to HR. He has a smiling face when he talks to his bosses. To us, he never ever shows any real respect.
