I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Panasonic in Mar 2022
Interview
I had applied for the job position and got a call from the HR for an initial video screening. Next video call round with the Director and it was technical as well as behavioral.
After a week, there was a video screen with 1 hour written test online with 4 engineers. The test consisted of RF basics and lab on hands knowledge based questions.
After few days they invited me to the on-site interview which lasted for a day with written exams and lab exercises.
I was offered the position after the on-site interview.
First round is online meeting with team where they ask questions about resume and a few technical questions.
Second round is in-person technical interview with written test and in-lab hands on test
First Round was virtual interview.
Second Round was Written Interview with conceptual questions and analog circuit problems. Then an On hands lab test which involved using a DMM/Oscilloscope. Overall interview process took about one month.
Straight Forward. The engineers interviewing me wanted to learn about my experiences more and how I handle hard problems on the job. Met with the manager then a few of the engineers on the team.
