I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Anonymous in Oct 2021
Interview
There were 2 rounds of interview on 2 separate days. 1st day, interview was taken by 2 senior employees, 1hr taken by each. 1st interviewer asked from basic CMOS, and whatever skills mentioned on resume. 2nd interviewer asked from STA and IR drop analysis mostly. Questions were from concept, so somewhat strong theoretical and practical knowledge both are essential to crack those 2 interviews that day. 2nd Day Hiring Manager took interview. He asked from the experienced gained from internship. Strong depth knowledge is must to crack that 1hr interview.
Overall, great and positive experience.
