Candidate-reported interview process

After submitting my application, I was contacted for an interview. I immediately clarified that I didn't have specific CMOS testing experience, as my background was mainly in memory cells, but I was eager to learn. They tried to put me on the spot with questions about circuit design.

They asked a lot of circuit design questions, like about op-amps and diodes. They wanted me to solve them right there. There were also some easy voltage divider problems. Not really any behavioral stuff.

The interview lasted half an hour. We discussed the role in more detail and what the company does. Then, the interviewer told me about himself and asked me some questions about my education and then proceeded to ask about my resume.
