I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Dialog Semiconductor (Greece, NY) in Apr 2017
Interview
The interview was held over the phone by an recruiter. The process was really smooth and very friendly. The technical portion was also right to the point without any surprises.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Dialog Semiconductor (Athens, Athens, Attica) in Aug 2019
Interview
I had an interview with a team in Athens office. Their internal recruiter had approached me a few months before the interview, but I was not interested at that time. After a few months, I decided to give it a go, and we arranged an interview.
At first there was a Skype interview that went very well. Second step was a F2F interview at their premises, which was even better and left me with an excellent impression about the role and the interviewers. The feedback I got from the interviewers was very good, as well.
A few days after the interview, their HR in Germany gives me a call to iterate the very positive feedback they got from the interviewers, and asking me to wait until they are back from their holidays, in order to discuss further steps.
I never heard back from them. I sent the recruiter an e-mail, asking for news about my application. I received a call, which I could not take, and an e-mail asking me to provide them with a convenient time to talk so they can give me feedback on my application. I replied, and again, they never got back to me.
I have no idea what happened, but I do know I took a half a day of my work, spent time and money travelling to their premises to get this treatment.
