Get to work on some pretty cool stuff, depending on the role you are in. Usually, it is easy to move between roles in the company and try out different stuff.
Slave drivers, staffing is skewed, which means some roles are very hectic while others are sitting idle.
Overall, you will end up working 50+ hours a week, at least for a few months in a year.
The hierarchy is shallow, which means you almost never get promoted.
No fixed career path like other companies.
Needs a big shakeup. Software has too many levels of hierarchy. HW employees need a clear career path for employees.
Applied online and was reached out to within a week. Had two rounds of online interviews, then received a rejection. Questions covered standard computer architecture topics and some cache-specific inquiries. Interconnects were also discussed.
The interview was smooth and easy to understand. It took me 45 minutes. The employer is an engineer who worked for 10 years. They provided all technical questions, with only 2 for coding.
It started with a first call with the team manager, where he asked about basic multiplier and FSM questions. Second round with a team member involved latch inference questions and a palindrome problem.
