Reliability Engineer I Interview Experience - Milpitas, California
Process
I got the interview through an employee referral.
An HR representative contacted me and scheduled an interview with the hiring manager.
The manager called me and asked me about my school projects for 15 minutes.
Then I was called for a day-long on-site interview.
All that they asked me was about NAND flash memory.
The managers were really nice, but some of them were really hard.
After two weeks, another manager (who wasn't my hiring manager) called me and said he wants me to be hired in his group.
Questions
If you know NAND flash device physics and architecture, you would be okay. Also, make sure what goes into your resume, because they asked me questions from what I put as my skills.

- 4.0Reliability EngineerReliability Engineer • Current EmployeeMilpitas, CAOctober 10, 2015Pros: All the teams are highly cross-functional, so one can learn a lot outside his expertise area and also move around in different teams. A good place to start as a fresh grad and get a good insight into the industry so later one can decide which focused field you want to pick.Cons: Career growth is fully dependent on your reporting manager. If your manager doesn't support your growth, then unfortunately you will be stuck in your place for a long time. Make sure you communicate to your manager about your expectation and your career plan.

Too many VPs, Directors and Managers care more about building up their own organizations than about the company. Decisions about hiring and direction are made inexplicably. My own group, for instance, has seen 3 to 4 reorgs in the past 1.5 years.
