The interviews were conducted over video call and on coderpad. I went through two rounds but did not make it past the second round. Both rounds were 45 minute long technical interviews. In the first round, I was given a memory interface specification and walked through the process of writing a UVM scoreboard. The second round asked various questions about caches, virtual memory, and OOP. I was also asked to write code to find the nth fibonnaci number in a sequence. Finally, interviewer described a hypothetical situation with parallel threads accessing same memory and how to verify the correctness.
