team leader sent email asking if i'm willing to come in for interview. 4 rounds. team leader started off introducing the company said he won't ask any technical questions because i'm a fresh graduate. next guy came in asked me about my resume and some basic computer architecture stuff. third guy came in asked me about my project and pointed out flaws in my design when i explained my project, he seemed very unimpressed by my projects. fourth guy asked me if i know any graduate level analog circuit stuff, said no because i mained in digital design in school. so we ended up talking about the work environment and current job market. he went to ask more guys to interview me but came back and said all the others are busy so it ended.

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 9am to around 7pm, 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 an 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.
