The interview process started with a 3-hour test focusing on Verilog, SystemVerilog, and UVM basics. This was followed by a face-to-face technical interview where they asked about fundamental concepts and AMBA protocols. The next round, also a face-to-face technical interview, involved discussing past projects and providing explanations. The final round was an HR interview, covering general background information. Importantly, there is a 3-year bond with a breakage amount of 6.75 Lakhs for breaking it within the 3 years. The interview was challenging but conducted professionally.
