ASIC Design Engineer Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
I was called for a phone interview first, talked about my previous experience, mainly about my resume, and was asked some simple digital circuit questions. One week after, I was scheduled for a screen interview, with 5 interviewers, that lasted more than 3 hours.
They asked some small questions, one guy still focused on the resume, some others asked some Verilog questions, some design questions, which were quite straight-forward.
Questions
All the questions are clear and normal. E.g. write FSM in Verilog, some DFT related questions.

- 3.0Fast paced environmentASIC Design Engineer • Former EmployeeSanta Clara, CaliforniaApril 13, 2014Pros: Employees were expected to do more. It could benefit someone with a desire to know.Cons: Poor communication, most of the time it's one way. Schedules were tight and unrealistic.
- 1.0Oppressive EnvironmentASIC Design Engineer • Former EmployeeSanta Clara, CaliforniaAugust 2, 2010Pros: - Food was good, but quality declined after it became no longer free - Good medical insurance coverage compared to similar plans from other companies - Great stock performance for the past two years. That was the reason compensation was on par with the basic salaries you can get elsewhere (I'm not so sure this is a plus...)Cons: - Tonnes of work for drones, but nothing to learn. - The rest of the industry has moved on to newer tools and standards, Marvell hasn't - Uncompetitive compensation - No career advancement opportunities - Lower management will promote whoever they like best personally. If you are not from the same country as your manager, don't expect any career opportunities. - Micro-management practiced and encouraged - Management will "suggest" re-arrangements to your personal life at home so you can stay in the office and work overtime as much as possible
