I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Encore Semi in Mar 2014
Interview
- 1 phone interview, discussed quite a lot about my experience and previous projects, the the technical interview - see questions below.
- 1 phone interview, presentation, soft skills (my strengths/weaknesses, etc - this kind of questions).
- I was abroad at that time so the entire screening and interview was over the phone/skype video.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
- timing questions: setup, hold, slack, critical path, max frequency, what is STA, how to improve the timing, etc
- problem solving: 1) write systemverilog properties to verify a given, simple protocol. 2) compute the optimal FIFO depth given the in and out timing specs. 3) Write the RTL for a FSM then synthesize it.
I applied for more than one position online and I got a rude text message to stop submitting my resume to all positions, which did not even identify who the text was from and to which position they were referring to.
I had applied to only 3 positions and to same position that was in different location. An ideal response from any company HR would be by email or by a phone call if the position matches and unless already interviewed or even if already interviewed and hired, no company will tell you to stop applying to other positions.
The HR hiring for those positions is disrespectful and rude to candidates applying to work for them.
After I explained to him/her that I was not applying to random positions, I got an immediate text saying I was not fit for any of their positions.
