on site interview:
1. you are first given a packet about company's management philosophy(this is just like a "self promote" of T.J.XXXX, the ceo of this company, which has worked for company maybe 20 years, this is strange, micro-management, tread his self as management god, rest of people are just stupid)
2. group interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
some basic text book questions about capacitor??? what else, nothing impressive.
asked some software question? the funny part is: the asker don't show their intention what he exactly want your answer, after few conversation, finally, understand he want to ask. This company is weird, from T.J.Rice(????, can't remember it exactly) to low-level staff, feel very strange.

Interview
The first stage was a apti plus technical plus coding mcq test , it will be slightly challenging . It is recommended you preprare well with your electronics basics. Next is the technical interview round. Interviewer was pretty peaceful and tried good techniques to bring out the best in me.Be thorough with your projects and all the technicality about it.next is the second technical round. If you get through that then it is going to be the HR round. Unfortunately i did not.

I applied through university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Cypress Semiconductor in Sept 2020
Interview
Was conducted in campus. Resume shortlisting was done. Shortlisted students were expected to give a written test comprising of 4 sections: Aptitude, C Programming, Systems, Analog and Digital. Up Ahead on the next day were the interviews. I had to wait 8 hours to get a call for the interview whereas many of the other students had completed at least 3 rounds. Was very disappointed.
