Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Zia Semiconductor is a service based semiconductor company. The work culture is not quite good. Pay scale is low, but higher than other service based semiconductor companies if the company arrives on-campus. Bond period is of 4 years (training period included). Starting with 4.5LPA in your first year to up to 16 LPA in your fourth year.
However, the group discussion in the recruitment process was of good level, your knowledge, IQ and confidence matters.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Other Interview
Experience: Most interviews progress depending on what is being highlighted/ stressed by you. Highlight things accordingly in resume and during interviews. My interview was focused on advanced VLSI electives/projects as I highlighted them during the interview and in resume.
Tips: CG cut-off: CG is a factor but nothing rigid above 8 would be useful. Generally long
shortlists are released. Therefore, selection is extremely dependent on interviews.

General Tips: Intel HR Interviews mostly concentrate on ethics. Make sure all replies are ethically correct. Work environment - one of the top 3 best places to work in India. Good employee care.
Note: Sometimes the HR interviews are taken by tech interviewers themselves. There is not always
an independent panel for HR interviews.

    Friend class is a class that has access to the private and protected members of another class.

    • Friend class is declared using the 'friend' keyword.

    • It allows the friend class to access the private and protected members of the class it is friends with.
