Interview

I thought that my to-be manager was discourteous and disingenuous in our interview, and hoped that they weren't so in normal situation. I felt like they wanted to pry into my past and future decisions until they saw a good reason not to advance me. I was surprised because their actions did not match what I knew about Cirrus Logic from company website and secondary testimonies.

Initial contact via recruiter. Very open and helpful HR at company.

Company was extremely supportive during job transition time where I was unable to work for several months

Application

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Cirrus Logic (Austin, TX) in July 2015.

Interview

First I had a phone screen, then they invited me for an interview, and they asked for references. My references had to fill in a questionnaire about me, before the on site interview. The on site interview was postponed once without explanation.
Cirrus had their travel agency arrange the flights between the SF Bay Area where I live and Austin. Although there are direct flights between Silicon Valley and Austin the travel agency didn't book direct flights (and they also don't do that for Cirrus employees I've heard.) The travel agency also booked the hotel and a rental car.

Cirrus gave me a map which indicated 3 places where I could park the car, the parking garage for visitors (which was already full at 8.15AM) and two parking lots, of which one turned out not to have places for Cirrus Logic employees/visitors anymore.
I first had a talk with their recruiter in a meeting room and after that I was escorted from interviewer to interviewer. I came back to that meeting room a few times.
It was a surprise to some of the interviewers that they had to do an interview, I even heard one interviewer exclaim 'O no'.
I was asked to bring extra resumes, that turned out to be necessary. Most interviewers had my resume on screen but in one case the interviewer was not able to pull my resume up so I had to give him one of the resumes I brought.

They are more interested in your approach. Be patient with yourself.
