Interview
About the interview process:
- The interview process was very slow and disorganized: they missed scheduled phone calls and rescheduled several phone interviews at the last minute.
- It seems the guy in charge of coordinating interviews was busy with other business because he was very relaxed about replying emails: it was a constant to email him twice to get an answer after each interview.
- I had two interviews on the phone. The questions were mainly related to programming. You don't need to have specific knowledge on semiconductors.
- About the on-site interview. I had to prepare a 30-45 minutes presentation. I also had four one-on-one interviews with members of the team. The questions were not difficult and mainly focused on modeling and programming.
- You don't need a specific training or preparation for the interviews.
About the company/team:
- The guys seem to be nice but not impressive at all from a technical point of view.
- The company is very specialized and the market is narrow and not in expansion. The technology is also well established and there is small room for improvements or changes.
- The products of the company seem interesting but the style is kind of old-fashioned (I suggest to see the website of the company).
- The work environment seems to be relaxed.
- No clear opportunities for career development.
- The office space and resources are not above average when compared to other software companies.
- It is not the place to work if you are looking for something challenging or with exposition.
