I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cypress Semiconductor (Lexington-Fayette, KY) in Mar 2017
Interview
The interview was simple. First, they called for an onsite interview where they asked me my projects and then they asked me to draw the full iverter layout on a board and explain it. The I-V charecteristics and C-V charecteristics have also been asked

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cypress Semiconductor (Bengaluru) in Sept 2019
Interview
Can't get any worse ? The interviewer was extremely rude and concentrated on topics and discussions which cant be any further from the job description. He even ridiculed my college and started asking life details of Einstein , failing to answer which i was also ridiculed about my learning from college ( Based on Einstein's bio- mind you ) . I actually raised this matter to their senior HR leader-Asia division who did get back to me but nothing was done against the rude and partial interview panel . Didn't expect this at all from a company like Cypress .

Question 1
The panel seemed to concentrate less on technical knowledge but more on their subconscious biases against interviewers.
