United StatesPosted Dec 2022 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I came in through a referral, which made the flow feel more direct and intense.

I had multiple interviews back to back, with three technical interviews focused largely on C++-type questions and then a final conversation with a manager. The technical portion felt like it stayed grounded in fundamentals rather than wandering too far into niche topics.

In another similar path for me, the interview loop was also built around depth in technical domain knowledge. The first technical discussion started with M-Tech style project questions and then went into analog and digital fundamentals, including MOSFET behavior, CMOS design details, low-power techniques, and Verilog basics.
