Process
The 45-minute interview started with a self-introduction.
There were some questions about digital design, SystemVerilog, OOP polymorphism, and signal processing. These were not very difficult.
The interviewer didn't ask about past experiences too much. No HackerRank link was provided either, just conceptual questions.
Questions
