Started with current mirror. How to design a more accurate current mirror? Then asked about some basic one stage amplifier (CS, CD). What's the small signal gain, output impedance? Then ask about the op-amp. The last part is relating to SAR ADC and delta-sigma ADC.
- current mirror, single stage amplifier, OP-amp, ADC

I never got a reply to my email about my request to have feedback. I would have appreciated whatsoever answer, but no answer is simply unprofessional and most importantly unpolite. They say they would have refunded me the travel costs, but this never happened. I kept writing them two more times still no answer. The interview itself was good, nothing to complain about, they went thoroughly to my CV and ask me fair questions and I feel to have a good engineering conversation. Hope that this helps in improving your Interview process and you value candidates' time.
- General question about MEMS process accelerometers and gyro.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at InvenSense (San Jose, CA) in Jun 2019
I was invited to an onsite interview after a phone interview with the hiring manager. The onsite interview is a joke. 4 out of 5 interviews came late. 2 of them were late for over 20 min. 1 interviewer was always focusing on his phone even without eye contact with me during the conversation. 1 interviewer from another group asked something completely unrelated to this position and tried his best to screw me up. My recommendation is to stay sway from this company. People are not professional at all.
- I was asked for details about programming for a process engineering interview???
