Technical Coding
After I applied, I got a phone screen 3 weeks later. Then, just 1 week after that, I had my second round online. The third round was two days after the second, and the final round was half a week after the third. So, 4 rounds total: 1 phone screening and 3 technical rounds, with the last one being 4 hours long. It moved pretty fast.

Technical Behavioral Presentation
There were two rounds for the interview. The first round was a 30-minute session covering basics like BJT and FET. They also wanted to know if I had researched the role and the company. The second round was more in-depth. It started with a 45-minute presentation of my PhD work, followed by a 15-minute Q&A. After that, I had 6 one-on-one interviews, which were mostly technical.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process was long and tedious with multiple interviews asking the same questions. The job description didn't really match what the responsibilities actually are. It's not the worst place to work, but it is always so busy. If you want experience, take the job; otherwise, go somewhere else.
