Interview
There are 2 interviews, telephone interview and on-site interview. In telephone interview, I was asked some things on my CV and they tried to understand what was my current situation. In the on-site interview, I met 6 people in 3 hours. In the 1st round, I met the director and HR. The director asked general technical questions and HR asked lots of HR questions. Round 2 was design technical interview although I applied for verification role. There were 2 parts in this interview: 1. introduced a project I had done and they asked corresponding questions 2. I was asked to draw a diagram based on the verilog code and tried to optimize the circuit to make it run faster.
