Very Difficult Interview – Overall Negative Experience – No – Tue, 15 Sep 2015
Interviewed Aug 2015
I applied months back, and got an email from a technical recruiter in August. A "30 minute" phone interview was scheduled about a week later. I prepared for the interview, including reading the prior interviews on Glassdoor, and when they called (5 to 10 minutes late from the scheduled time), I was interviewed by an Asian lady from outside San Diego who was extremely difficult to understand. Panic sets in as I don't have a clue what she is asking me, despite my years of experience of working with engineers from foreign (Asian) countries. I had to have her repeat questions a couple of times due to the broken English. The interview only lasted 10 minutes.
Interview Questions
When working with ADS (Agilent's Advanced Design System), what "inputs" do you use? (Hint: my response of setting the dielectric constant, loss tangent, microstrip lines/stripline, resistors, inductors, capacitors didn't seem to be the right answer. If anyone has any clue what this question means, I'm all ears.)
