Most of the people at this company seemed to be overworked.

They all had dark circles underneath their eyes. The culture I heard from the people I talked with was "Long Hours".

The workers here usually work from 9 am to around 7 pm, and this depends on the department you are in, too.

The company itself is actually pretty big. They have around 1,500 employees in San Jose and 6 buildings, with more buildings being built.

The interview I went to was for a Hardware Validation Engineer, and I don't have prior experience, but they were willing to talk to me, so I appreciated it a lot.

He asked me a few personal questions and then started writing ac/dc plus signal analysis questions down for me to solve. He wanted me to tell him the output of the waveform at two probe areas he indicated.

I tried going through the problem and was able to only decipher the easy parts of the problem, but eventually was unable to solve the question.

I bid him thank you and farewell.

Tell me the waveform output at probe 1 and 2.

The problem consists of a DC 5V going to a 5V sine wave input going to a capacitor.

This system is then going into a 12V DC input with two 1K resistors in parallel.

This feeds into the emitter side of a transistor with a +-3V toggle as a base.

The collector is going to ground.

The two probe points are:

• (1) before the cap
• (2) before the emitter
