Applications Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
It started with a phone interview and then an on-site interview.
The phone interview asked some personality questions and then some theoretical situations. I was asked to think about it and then give a solution to the issue.
The process went into a more in-depth conversation over the role and the passion for working with the company. Then we discussed my personality and if I was a good fit to work with the company.
