Quartus Engineering Interview Questions
& Process

it took 4 weeks to reject me. I feel like I am a very strong candidate but maybe there was some one else stronger than me but I am pretty sure they kept me as a backup till the other candidate accept their offer. Over all was a good experience but the fact that they told me I didnt answer their question in a proper way I think it was just unfair

The interview process was a bit long, taking over three months, but the holidays did play a part. It started with a recruiter phone screen. The second round was a video interview with the Chief of Staff/Legal and an HR person, and I had to sign an NDA, though no sensitive information was shared. The final stage was supposed to be a three-hour onsite with four sessions: one with a panel of four people and three sessions with two people each. This role was mainly to support the CEO, reporting to the Chief of Staff, and also provide some HR support. Interestingly, a 1:1 with the CEO wasn't part of the plan, and the final round involved meeting people I'd already spoken with, none of whom reported directly to the CEO. While everyone was pleasant, the drawn-out process and seeing the job posting updated multiple times made me accept another offer, so I withdrew from Quartus' final interview.

after submitting resume, first had a recruiter call, then a one on one with an engineering manager. After that, I had a presentation to display engineering skills, which included questioning, and then two 2:1 technical interview questions. I had a competing timeline with another company which forced me to rush with Q. But everyone was amazing at accommodating for my schedule. They managed the logistics of getting 4 engineer managers + director of engineering for final round under such short notice. Kelsey (the recruiter) was very helpful and genuinely wants to have your back. Great advice of "constantly ask questions". Difficult but its very straightforward. They aren't trying to use trickery in these interviews. You know your stuff or you don't.

After applying, I got an email from their Talent Acquisition Specialist to set up a phone screen. This first call was pretty light on technical details, mostly about my background and experience. Kelsey, the specialist, was really nice and knew her stuff, making it easy to connect my skills to the role. A few days later, I had an hour-long chat with the Director of Analysis, Brent, and an Engineering Manager, Nazli. This interview got way more technical, focusing on specific projects and my advanced FEA knowledge. It was a good vibe with them too. Then came the final step: putting together a powerpoint presentation about a past project, detailing the analysis, issues, and how it could be improved. It made me a bit anxious, but it was a solid way to show my skills to the technical managers. After that, I did three separate interviews with Engineering Managers to discuss the day-to-day work at Quartus. I felt like it was a mutual evaluation, checking if it was a good fit on both sides. They were clear about salary and benefits, and so far, everything they mentioned has been accurate.
