Was contacted on Linkedin. Initial phone interview was scheduled in a few days, followed by a 4 hour onsite interview (5 people @ 45 min each), the 5th was the team manager. The phone interview was really standard -- data structures, UVM, ASIC performance, Big O notation, etc. The onsite interview was divided as follows: 1) UVM basics and testbench development 2) Cache design 3) C++ questions (strings, arrays, data structures, etc.) 4) Digital Design questions 5) General overview questions, background etc. (With manager of the group).

Had got a referral through a contact there, so the HR contacted me over email. I had 3 phone interviews scheduled, one after the other over the course of 2-3 weeks. Nothing difficult, about my resume and some simple programming basics. Then I was called onsite for half a day, where I had 5 technical interviews of 45+ mins each spanning programming techniques, designing, computer architecture, system verilog, c, c++ (i had them on my resume). Most of the interviewers were very friendly, good people. I enjoyed the interview.
