Ansys Product Specialist interviews, decoded.

It was a multi-stage interview for a Product Specialist role in Athens, Greece. I first had contact with HR for a preliminary interview. Then, I had a first interview with one manager, followed by another interview with two managers based in the US. I was supposed to have another round, but I withdrew from the process since I received another job offer. Overall, the people I interacted with were very friendly, and we had great conversations.

So I had a first round with the Hiring Manager, then after that it was with Directors for the second, third, and fourth rounds. The fifth round was with the Senior Director. It was a long day, about 8 hours of interviews all in one go.

We started with an online test covering RC circuits, basic digital logic, Python, probability, CMOS logic, STA, and basic signals and systems. The interviewers were really friendly and helpful, giving hints to guide us to the solution. It's a good idea to review STA and CMOS concepts before the interview.
