Broadcom Interview Experiences
Staff Engineer II
There were four sets of technical interview rounds. The interview was mainly about ASIC RTL design, mostly covering the basics. Later, the manager interviewed me. He asked a few technical questions and inquired about my expectations from Broadcom.
ASIC Verification Engineer
I had three rounds of technical interviews. Each round covered verification basics, SystemVerilog basics, and project-related topics. I then had a manager round, which concluded with a final HR round.
Softwaere Engineer
It was tough and could not ace it so easily. The bars are set high always to deliver high-performing, robust products. I had around 3-4 people on the panel talking to me back then.
