The interviews were very long. Tool 5 interviews and their questions were intentionally designed to reject you. They asked circuit questions or things that, as an engineer, you don't really use on a daily basis.
- Live coding session to design a Verilog module. - One behavioral question regarding the greatest challenge at work. - Elaboration of the work done and the things accomplished in the story told.
Technical quiz. Not difficult, but not very friendly either. The interviewers dodged culture questions, while hinting that anyone who doesn't want to work 60+ hour weeks should not be applying.
