Staff Engineer Interview Experience - Bloomington, Minnesota
Process
The entire interview process was conducted with Zoom. The first interview was used to weed out people with basic personality questions. They only want over-achievers. I made it past this round. I spoke to the hiring manager during the second round. This included detailed technical questions about semiconductor processing and 6 Sigma problem-solving tasks. I was not offered the job.
