Broadcom interview questions

First I was asked about my experience, complicate tasks I had to solve and methods of solving. So basically it was a conversation of two engineers: ways of solve this or that issues. After 1 hour of 1:1 conversation another engineer came. That was a skill test. Basic questions regarding embedded software development, locks, interrupts, priority inversion, ARM assembler semaphore operations; issues with multi-CPU systems.

I got the call to schedule an interview a few hours after I submitted my job application online, so I was impressed with how responsive their HR department was. It turns out that I was the first person they interviewed for the position, so I doubt that that would happen to everyone they interview. The interview itself was pretty straightforward. I went through 6 one-on-one interviews with different managers from the production planning department, and it lasted about 3 hours. Broadcom also provided a schedule ahead of time of who I would be speaking with. Afterwards they told me they'll let me know in a few weeks if I would be selected for the second round of interviews, but I went with another job offer before that could happened.
