The hiring process at onsemi takes an average of 180 days when considering 2 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Applications Manager had the quickest hiring process (on average 180 days), whereas Applications Manager roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 180 days).
Started out well with responsive HR. The first interview was odd. Hiring manager asked robotic questions from a script. Did not really go into too much depth on the role itself. Hiring manager said I would hear about next steps and be contacted about the next round of interviews by HR early next week yet got a notification a day later role was closed. If you are a hiring manager and know that you have found someone then it is best not to be telling your interviewee that HR will contact them next week. Better to not say anything at all.

Interview
The interview process lasted more than four weeks and involved multiple rounds with HR, the hiring manager, and other team members. Every interaction prior to the final interview was professional and left me with a positive impression of the team.
Unfortunately, the final interview with a VP was a stark contrast. Rather than discussing my background and how it aligned with the role, much of the conversation focused on why I supposedly would not be successful in the position. When I attempted to explain relevant experience, I was frequently interrupted or my responses were dismissed. The interview felt adversarial and combative.
The VP also spent a significant portion of the discussion talking about the former employee who held the role, emphasizing that there had been reluctance to replace the employee.
What made the experience particularly frustrating was that this occurred in the fourth and final round of interviews after weeks of preparation and discussions with the team. By that stage, a candidate's qualifications and background were already well known. If there were concerns about fit, they should have been addressed much earlier in the process, or not advanced a candidate through multiple rounds only to be repeatedly interrupted during a final-stage interview.
Advice to Management: Consider including HR or another high-level executive in final-stage leadership interviews to help ensure a professional and respectful experience for candidates. There needs to be checks and balances in place and some level of oversight.
