Anonymous Interview Candidate in Edinburgh, Scotland
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Cirrus Logic (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Apr 2023
I received an email a couple of months after applying. The first interview was a 45 minutes video call in which they introduced the position and we discussed my motivations, experience, and the contents of the resume. It also included a few technical questions about past projects. Two weeks later I was asked to schedule the second interview. It began with a 45-minute HR meeting mostly to answer my questions and present the office and company culture. Then I had to make 10-minute presentation + 20 minutes of questions about a past project, and a 90 minutes technical interview, consisting of basic analog circuit questions, like an opamp in inverting configuration or a single BJT amplifier with emitter degeneration. The interviewers were really friendly. They were more interested in the thought process than in the answers, so they helped whenever I was stuck. I accepted another offer before they chose the candidate.
