No Offer – Interviewed in Jan 2013 – Reviewed Jan 17, 2013
Interview Details – First a video recording with 5 questions, then a live video interview, then onsite in dallas. EVery thing went ohk, but since it is a behavioral interview, it really depends on the interviewers you get. No right or wrong answer. Very unpredictable.
Interview Question – Three minute quick simulation at the end of the interview, under tremendous pressure. Answer Question

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Dallas, TX Oct 2012 – Reviewed Nov 13, 2012
Interview Details – I attended a career fair and dropped my resume off. I had very interesting conversation with a hiring manager and mentioned that I'd like to work in analog design. A week later I was contacted by a recruiter to do an online interview. Basically a video software asked me five questions and I had to record a video with my answers and mail it to a hiring manager.
Interview Question –
Why do you see yourself doing this job?
I had a difficult time answering this question since I had applied for an analog design position in the beginning. I was not really interested in a sales position, but I still mentioned all of my skills that make me a good fit for sales (multiple languages, public presentation, engaging conversationalist, etc).
Answer Question
Reason for Declining – I am a recent graduate and I'd like to work in design before adventuring into sales or applications engineering.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Taipei (Taiwan) Sep 2012 – Reviewed Mar 16, 2013
Interview Details –
Sent email containing resume and diploma to HR. Got their reply within two weeks. Info on the actual interview process was sent to the candidates two weeks prior to the day of interview. Candidates were assigned to groups and were asked to deliver a presentation together on one of the company's products. Candidates were also asked to not get in contact to one another before the interview.
On the day of the interview there a little less than an hour to discuss in groups on how to present. And then each group did their presentation and Q&A session. During lunch you get a text informing you whether or not you passed the morning interview and will be moving on to the afternoon session. The afternoon session you get interviewed by few managers in groups. Questions were only about general information about yourself, nothing technical.
Interview Question –
Questions were pretty general - why did you apply for this job/ why do you think you are the right fit/ what do you think a salesperson does...
Interviewers were really nice, and the whole process was pretty casual.
Answer Question
Negotiation Details – HR calls you the night of the interview. They tell you about the salary and bonus plan (sales). They expect you to accept/decline the offer then.
