      ESSD Hardware Engineer Interview

      22 Sept 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at WD in Sept 2017

      Interview

      I first got an email from the HR representative to schedule a phone interview. We setup a time and it was 30 minutes long. After the phone interview, I was told immediately to have a second round with the whole team via Skype/WebEx. I had the second interview a week later which was about 150 minutes (2.5 hours) long.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Phone Interview: Questions about my resume and experience. Skype/WebEx interview: What is setup time and hold time, how to fix a setup violation and a hold violation, what is a cache, what is a pipeline, what is the advantage of associativity etc.
