Process

There were 3 total interviews.

I landed my first interview while networking with the Marvell at my university's career fair. The interview was in-person and lasted around 35 minutes. I was asked a few technical questions and general questions related to my projects. This was a general interview, not for a specific position.

From my success with this interview, I landed the second interview specifically for this position, Physical Hardware Software Intern. The format of the second interview mirrored that of the first one.

My third and final interview was very straight forward. I answered questions related to the requirements of the job description. I was asked what is my experience with one of the requirements for the job.
