Neutral experience

Average interview

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at PDF Solutions (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2014

Interview

Easy as i knew what i was going to do. Did the same at my previous employer.There is a standard phone screen if you don't know people at the company. Since i was referred, i jumped straight into 1:1 interviews. People i interviewed with knew their stuff so it was a good experience. Thankfully no HR BS interview. Also, HR in this company is just nuts so avoid them, if you can.

Technical, challenging, a whole day process from 8 am to 3 pm. Lot of experienced interviewers, looking for things that you can learn very fast or not. Too technical and very strong questions.
