Behavioral Technical

I went through two interview rounds. The first was with the hiring manager, and the second was with another engineer. Both interviewers seemed to think I'd already talked to the recruiter, but that call never happened. Both interviews seemed to go well, and I was told the recruiter would reach out for the next steps. However, weeks passed with no word. I tried following up with the recruiter, but they ghosted me, which was really unprofessional.

My interview with this company was rough. The interviewers were unprofessional and disrespectful. They kept cutting me off, insisting their way was the only way, and couldn't handle other valid solutions. Very immature.

Technical Coding

This was one of the most well-organized interview processes I've encountered in my job search. During the initial screening, I was clearly informed about the discussion flow, the complete hiring process, and specific job details. The HR department was responsive, and the entire process wrapped up within a week. It involved three rounds of in-depth technical discussions, each lasting 1 hour, 1.5 hours, and 1.5 hours respectively, with breaks in between. All interviews were conducted virtually by teams based in India and Israel.

Confirmed questions5 questions
  • Could you write some SV-UVVM code?
  • How would you perform string reversal using SV queues?
  • Can you explain the UVM driver project?
