I applied online. I interviewed at NXP Semiconductors (Kuala Lumpur) in Aug 2020
Interview
Interviewers were friendly. They asked a bunch of technical questions and experience. The results of the interview process took about 2 months. However, the interview experience was good and they were keen on your programming skills.

Q: What programming language you know? Can you write a sample code?
I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NXP Semiconductors (Petaling Jaya)
Interview
It was a one-round interview where I was interviewed by 3 managers and 1 of them became my manager later on. It was a general process where they asked me about myself, my advantages and disadvantages. After that, they started to ask some basic technical questions. Towards the end of the interview, they introduce the company as well as the department.

Question 1
What were the challenges I have faced during my university time and how did I overcome it.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at NXP Semiconductors
Interview
Interviewed by 2 technical engineers, 1 team lead and another team manager. For this position, they did not want to consider fresh grad but due to Masters degree, they gave me a chance.
Basic interview include lodging if you are a non local, transport, and past experience working in a team. Due to technical position, leadership experience not much asked, but more technical questions such as basics of electronics, such as logic gates, diodes & HDL programming languages. For interview questions, explanation on how you arrive at the right answers matter more than the answer itself. Rather than saying I memorised it, if you can justify and share your thought process, they will be more appreciative.
