Embedded Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied on TI's website. A few weeks later, I was contacted by HR about the opportunity.

It took me two weeks to even schedule a phone interview date, yes! TWO WEEKS! The efficiency of the HR is really annoying.

Before the interview, I was told to prepare a 10-minute slide presentation of a related project that I had done. I used my senior project to carry out my presentation. The total phone interview was 90 minutes. It was initially a 2:1 interview. We spent 30 minutes talking about the project, and the engineers at TI asked some in-depth questions. After that, one of them left, and another manager asked me a lot of background-related questions.

It was a good experience talking to those two individuals, but the lack of feedback annoyed me again. I thought I did well in the phone interview, but the HR never replied to my request for the interview result. After a week with no reply, I decided to move on.

Earlier this year, when TI came to my university, I was told that TI is not hiring international students this year, and a lot of other applicants had a similar experience to what I had.
