Interview
I had a short meeting with an HR rep followed by a panel interview. That didn't go well, to put it mildly. Technical questions were easy and trivial however the personal ones were another story. I'm used to working in a male-dominated field and I'm often the only woman in a meeting room however nothing prepared me for a blatantly rude treatment I faced at Samsung.
The interviewers asked many inappropriate and borderline discriminatory questions such as whether my husband agreed to move to Austin. The potential manager (an American, mind you) asked how many kids do I have. This left me wondering what kind of job I was interviewed for.
Also, couple more things. They require you to submit a recent pay stub as a part of an application. I did because my pay is at the top of the grade. They couldn't match it, by the way. They needed to make a hire ASAP however they could only schedule a flight for an on-site interview in 2 weeks because of some silly company policy on advance ticket booking.

Interview
Initial phone interview were my resume and problem solving skills were discussed and then a panel interview where I was asked more in detail about technical aspects of my resume.
Mix of behavioral and some technical questions. The interviewers wanted to see your decision making process and engineering judgement abilities. Lots of mention of a “fast paced environment”. Expect to be tripped up during technical portions and admit when you don’t know the answer.
