Technical Behavioral
It was a 2-round interview process. The HR interview was quite easy and covered basic Verilog, STA, metastability, and OOP. The second round focused on resume details, specifically projects, and they asked for justifications like the choice of clock frequency. They prefer candidates with Verilog projects. An aptitude test was also part of it. HR questions were simple, focusing on location.

Technical Coding Behavioral
We had 4 rounds for this job. First, there were 2 online interviews: one screening and one written test. Then, we had 2 offline interviews: a technical panel and then a meeting with the Manager. Finally, there was an HR discussion. The team was professional and the questions were at an intermediate level. One HR was good, but the other was rude.
