None. But I did not expect the manager will ask me about my strength and weakness in phone interview. This is my first interview and I have long way to go for preparation.
They were more interested in problem solving skills of the candidate.
How can tou manage daily work here if it is very repeated and everyday will be the same.
Do you have any questions?
tell me about a time you convinced your adviser about something
There was a technical question related to my job.
Some technical questions are not related to my background
A couple interviewers were PHD students. They will go down to very deep theory level of concepts such as semiconductor physics. The questions that will get you are the ones where you have to explain the physics such as explain the physics behind threshold voltage. It seems for this position very strong fundamental knowledge of semiconductor physics is required and also general knowledge of VLSI design. If you put down any course work that relates to the position make sure you know it in great detail.
Most of the interview was a conversation where I was trying to explain my projects. The key is to always tell the challenges you faced and how you overcame them. You may not do the same kind of research in the job but they are looking for good problem solvers, so always present yourself as a problem solver. Also, ask a lot of questions about the company.
