Keysight Technologies Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Keysight Technologies (Everett, WA) in November 2015.

Interview

After applying online I was contacted by an HR representative about one week later where we went over my skills and the requirements for the job.

Later scheduled a phone interview with the hiring manager. We went over my resume in further detail with questions relating my technical experience with their needs.

Scheduled on-site interview for two weeks after the previous conversation. Process lasted about 6.5 hours with a company paid lunch. Initially met with the hiring manager where we toured the facility and talked about the company. Was then handed off to four engineers, two before lunch and two after. Went over resume details with each interviewer and was presented a small technical question. The lunch was off-site with three other engineers and served as a personality check. Discussion during lunch was mostly technical in nature, but low pressure with no drilling questions or challenges.

Overall, the interview was a good experience. Many of the engineers were very knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk to. Be prepared to be questioned deeply about anything on your resume. Unfortunately, I was coming off an illness and had other offers available so admittedly I did not bring my A-game to the interview.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Keysight Technologies (Santa Clara, CA).

Interview

The interview process is is what you would expect from most companies. There was a 30-40 minute phone interview. After this, there is an on-site interview which is around 3 hours long. For me, I was in a conference room, and every 30 minutes someone new would come in and ask me different technical questions. All technical questions in person and a few personal questions over the phone.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Keysight Technologies (Loveland, CO) in September 2015.

Interview

I applied online, then was contacted by a recruiter. Next was a call with the hiring manager who was fantastic, and then tech screens. The first round of tech screens involved two 1-hr calls with a software engineer and an architect. The hiring manager had recommended focusing on C#, but all programming questions were focused on C++ (which I had stressed I had not been hands-on with for about 5 years.) Following this round, I was asked to do a walkthrough of some of my own code on a webex, this time with the same two interviewers along with another architect. I was asked to prepare Java code for review, and when I emailed my carefully prepared code out to the team late on the day before the call, I was asked to please cover some C++ too - again, 5 year old code with no time to review or clean up. Unzip an old archive and put it on screen....

The job requisition emphasized broad technical base, great communication skills, and ability to work across organizational boundaries, and not hands-on development. No languages were identified as critical, but most of the technical questions seemed focused on being a hardcore C++ developer.

After the code review, the recruiter called to say if I wanted to continue interviewing it would be for a pay band about 40% lower than initially discussed. The job req has since been re-opened (3rd time that I know of) which leads me to believe they are not finding candidates because the advertised position is not actually what the team is looking for in this case. I liked all the personalities of the people that I talked to but found the process quite frustrating as targets shifted at multiple times.
