Nova Ltd. Interview Questions
& Process

Had a 45 min chat with the hiring manager. Asked some basic resume stuff and then got into technical questions about op amps, LDOs, mosfet drivers, transistors, and other core analog electronics. Did some white boarding too. It was a good overall experience.

I sent in my application online. The first few stages were with upper management and a senior engineer. After that, they invited me for 5 in-person interviews at their office. They changed one of the HR in-person interviews to an online one the day before it was scheduled. The HR person seemed rushed and wasn't very friendly. I was rejected, and they just sent a generic automated email without explaining why.

It was a 90-minute face-to-face interview, pretty intense with questions coming one after another. The atmosphere was sort of positive aggressive, and the interviewer was impatient and impolite at times, even for an Israeli standard. I got interrupted a lot, which seemed excessive even though I know interviewers sometimes do that once they have their answer. It felt like maybe it's just the interviewer's personality since I wasn't rambling. Overall, it was a mediocre experience.

The interview process was pretty good and on time. They were responsive and organized, except the recruiter messed up by setting up interviews with the department head and company president, then canceling them shortly after without a call. I had three interviews: first with the FSE team lead, second with HR, and third with the FSE manager. The team lead asked some questions about having kids and marital status, which felt a bit off, but I think it was more cultural and to explain benefits rather than being malicious. The HR person knew the numbers and benefits well and mentioned that training usually happens in Israel but isn't happening for now. Even though I didn't get the job, I have a good impression of the company from the interview process.
