Design Verification Engineer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
After applying online, I received a phone call a few days later from a lower-level employee with a couple of years of experience.
The phone interview was completely technical, with no personality or leadership questions.
I was invited to be flown down for an on-site interview, but as I was already in town, I was able to interview the next day.
The on-site interview consisted of four 45-minute interviews with employees from different divisions within the working group. Each was one-on-one and entirely technical, with no non-technical questions.
They also provided lunch with entry-level employees from the working group.
I was given the impression that I would receive a follow-up contact within a few days, but I did not receive any contact until I inquired over a month later.
Overall, the people were friendly and the campus was nice. I got the feeling that people enjoyed working there.

- 3.0Good pay, but work-life balance is sacrificed.Design Verification Engineer • Current EmployeeBayan Lepas, Penang, MalaysiaJuly 27, 2025Pros: • Great monetary offer if you aced the interview • Great employee benefits (free coffee, console games, dental, medical) • Vast variety of knowledge, tons of learning opportunitiesCons: • Super fast-paced; you have to juggle multiple tasks in parallel. • Tasks on hand are micromanaged, expecting significant progress every week. • Geopolitics: If your team is not local, expect peers who are not willing to share information, and you will be knocking into walls trying to complete a simple task. • Poor documentation: To understand certain things, you have to delve into the code level to understand how interconnections are made. • Poor distribution of IP feature ownership: Some features are only taken care of by one person. If that person is reluctant to share information or is on leave, you have no way to consult that person regarding the feature. • Output-oriented instead of learning-oriented: You will not be given time to learn the big picture of things, but only focus on completing your assigned deliverables. • Unrealistic datelines: Expects new hires to complete four tasks that involve major code development just two months into the job.
