almost 2 hours, very nice interviewers, asked 1 logical thinking question and 1 buffering question.
Second interview was held in a different office, almost 2 hours, a lot of personal questions
HR contacted me and set up the interview. 60 minutes interview each. The first interview was easier, the second interview was comparatiely harder. Questions covered topics from Computer Architecture, FIFO depth, RTL design, encoders , basic C codes and Systemverilog.
