FML.
Guy sits to my left goes, "ok I'll go first" and handed me a packet of C code. "you got 5 mins to answer the questions at the end."
As I take the packet, I could feel 11 pairs of eyes staring at me. I was intimidated to say the least... and i'm 58% sure I peed my pants a lil. I swear to god, that was the fastest 5 mins of my life, before I even got to the questions, he goes "time's up". I'm thinking... i'm screwed.
So I tried my best to explain to him how far I've got and how I got there. Luckily the answers to the questions were literally on the next line I was about to do. I told him the answer, and I think I passed the 1st question.
Question 2, one of the ladies goes "here are two pages of BLAH report, on the wafer diagram it shows 5v, and we are inputing 4.5v. Around the 5v there are some places with 10v, but we are mainly interesting in the 5v region. How do we fix the problem?"
... WHAT THE F IS THE PROBLEM? This is something I've never seen before, I don't even know if there is a problem here....
"Well this is what i would do... " I bullshitted. Quickly realizing I don't even know where to start the bullshit.
"honestly, I've never seen this before and I don't even know what this is...."
Question 2, fail.
Question 3, "do you recognize what this is?" "AN INVERTER, AN INVERTER!" Finally I passed a question with flying colors.... this was a confidence booster...
The rest of the interview was just a blur, I had no idea what went on... I just know I talked alot... and peed alot.
As I was going out the room, I talked to one of the engineers. "you survived it!" he says.
"I guess so..."
"We've actually never done this before... you know, having 11 people in the same room asking you questions at the same time"
"really?.... Lucky me"
