I know many of you would be waiting as to what happened and how things went..
I was called for Cypress Semicondutors Interview
Cypress Interview Experience:
He asked me about hold time, set up time constraints and how they come into picture and what will you do to mitigate with it. Actually these questions would have been new to most of the Btech guys and even they were new to me also, had I not gone to IISC Bangalore.
They never asked these, but I got it here. So that's the reason, I would always ask people to attend interviews. Because you never know what happens when and what is coming your way.
It was followed up with some normal questions on comparators. I was asked to design a comparator using MOSFET.
Then few normal questions on CMOS Inverter. I was going well.
Then other questions about BJT. Few questions on Body Effect, different regions of operation of MOSFET and BJT.
Also the last question was "Why Mtech , leaving job in a company"
I some how felt very confident about the interview. I immediately called up my father and told that I would be in easily.
Cadence Interview
They had 2 panels - One for software and other for Analog profile. I some how, unable to recongize the labels of the panels, went to software profile. They asked C, Linked Lists, Data Structures.
I kept mum for a while and answered few things. But I never felt I was in.
They offered me a bottle of Yummy Apple Juice. I couldn't resist taking it, after all atleast Apple Juice should be for me, if not a position in Cadence.
Texas Interview:
I was shocked first of all as to how and why Texas called me because I kept them as 4 th preference. There was only 1 question that he was asking me since the starting. I and the person were discussing only about the same circuit. I could not solve to the extent to which he needed. It was again about transient analysis in Network Theory.
Then there were few questions on CMOS Inverter and the Body Effect. But they were too much beyond my capability.
Qualcomm didn't call me.
