There were numerous interviews with lots of technical questions but one question that stood out was the classic "tell us of a time where you did NOT do something right" and I told a story where I snapped at a customer.

A circuit was drawn on the whiteboard consisting of two op-amps with reference voltages and and input voltage going into both op-amps. The outputs of the mosfet each had diodes, which were both attached to the gate of an n-channel mosfet, which had the source attached to ground, and the drain attached to a resistor which was connected to a reference voltage. I was then asked if I knew what the circuit did.
