Process
Technical interview for the ASIC Architect role.
The main technical discussion asked me to describe how to size tiles for a matrix multiply operation.
The interviewer did not offer any guidance or hints during the problem, which made the session feel one-sided and hard to calibrate. Not a great interview experience overall, though the question itself was reasonable and relevant to the role.
Questions
