Interview
I applied this job online, HR called me after they received my resume. It's a phone interview. HR ask me few questions and she said she will send my resume to the supervisor who belongs to division. After one month, I didn't get any reply so I called back to HR. The result is I have been denied because of lacking background of semiconductors. So I can't get a 1:1 interview.Anyway, HR is a nice person, she still give me some advice which helps me a lot.
Fair behavioral question and ask about relevant job experience. The overall process is smooth and the interviewer is easy going. Take some time to prepare for company related questions and you should be fine.
Interview with the Hiring manager was chill but he did not really ask anything about my background nor how I would fit the role.
Instead he asked me some brain teasers, which caught me off guard a little.
