Verification Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California

July 1, 2010
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

A phone interview first. Asked to describe work history and offered job description.

A long employment application filled out online, printed out and bring to on-site interview.

The perception I gathered from the interview is that Marvell did not emphasize on verification and in the process of rectifying that. One engineer warned me that I should expect resistance of forcing verification methodology on the teams if I were to be offered and accept the job.

Questions

A piece of SystemVerilog code regarding fork/join_none and explain its behavior

(the following code is not exact)

module ... fork for (i=0; i<16; i++) begin $display("%d\n", i); #1 end join_none endmodule

output: 0 1 2 . 15

simulation ends at time 0

Q: Why it ends at time 0, where does #1 go?

C questions:

  • Array vs pointer
  • Passed by value/reference
