Candidate-reported interview process
So first I had a meeting with the hiring manager where they went over my resume and basically checked my knowledge of modern C/C++ coding stuff. Then, the final round is gonna be a full day, like 5-6 rounds back-to-back.
It was 3 rounds. First was screening, second was resume walkthrough, then technical. The technical involved C programming, a DSA problem, translating it to assembly, and a SystemVerilog question to write a D flip flop, plus computer architecture questions.
The candidate had a great time during the interview process. It consisted of only one round and did not involve any coding challenges. The focus was solely on discussing project experience, and the interviewer was very pleasant.
