Behavioral
The interview process with ImaginationTech in 2022 was pretty simple compared to others. They were direct, which was nice. Communication was clear, and the interviewers really wanted to know about my background and how it fit the job. No extra steps or waiting around, it felt efficient and respectful of my time.

Behavioral Technical Coding
First, there was an initial discussion about the role, what's expected from both the employee and employer, and the company culture. Then, HR scheduled a technical interview. This technical interview was 2 hours long and done virtually online with two interviewers. It included a mix of theory and coding questions, and they shared some code snippets and documents to check my thought process.
Confirmed questions4 questions
- What are the constraints for randomizing variables?
- How is functional coverage implemented for variables?
- Can you explain in-depth the theory behind SV and UVM concepts, such as factory and config_db?

Coding Technical
Had an initial interview to see if I was a good fit, which included a live coding task, then a timed, unsupervised Codility coding test. If I passed that (not sure what the threshold is), there was a second interview round, about 2 hours long, entirely technical/brain teaser questions. By this point I was being considered for a graphics pipeline role, so they sent some computer graphics resources as I don't study CS. I didn't get the offer because they preferred someone with a computer science background, or maybe I just didn't perform well enough in the second interview.
Confirmed questions4 questions
- Difference between DRAM and SRAM?
- How processing floating points works?
- Easy math questions.
