The interview process

Described in candidates’ own words.

It was 3 interviews, 30 minutes each. The interviews were software focused even though it was a hardware role. The first hour was software and the last 30 mins was Verilog. The software questions weren't that hard but they did catch me off guard since I was expecting hardware questions.Candidate-reported process
The interviews were both done online. They included one software leetcode style interview and one hardware Verilog interview. There were no conceptual or behavioral questions. It was just one round, not multiple rounds.Candidate-reported process
It was a phone interview with the hiring manager, then there were 6 rounds of panel interviews. After that, the recruiter contacted me.Candidate-reported process
