Difficult Interview

Overall Positive Experience

Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took 2 days)

I got a call from the Manager in Xilinx. He was pretty clear in his expectations and wanted to ensure that I was fully bought into the job role before the interview process began. The interview consisted of 2 rounds. One was on HDL and the other on Problem solving. The former was pretty technical where the interviewer tested both my knowledge in the domain that I was from and the one that I was getting into. I didn't fare well in the latter. The second interview was on problem solving and it went pretty well. The interviewer assesed by familiarity with algorithms and posed questions to assess my problem solving skills. This rounds went on pretty well. Two days after the interview I was told that they expected me more breadth in the domain that I was getting into; and the interview process ended there.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in San Jose, CA (took 5 weeks)

Standard Interview.
First manager called, then I had a technical screening over the phone.
Consisted of basic digital circuits.
Know your truth tables, timing diagrams.
Understand key concepts such as metastability.

When I went to the onsite, it was similar to phone interviews with more in depth.
They emphasized the process was important, not the right answer.

Went out to lunch.
