      Hardware Engineer Interview

      Sep 29, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Boston, MA
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Synaptics (Boston, MA) in Feb 2015

      Interview

      Interview process was quite good. Had an onsite interview the day after a career fair where we went over relevant skills and projects on my resume. Followed within a week by another interview with technical and hr questions. Ended up not taking the position due to securing another one at a dream company, but the offer was good.

      Question 1
