Phone inetrview , they majorly targeted my resume (Skills , projects, previous work experience). Did ask a few logic design questions setup hold, nand gate etc. Onsite was not that bad asked on Sync/Asyns FIFO design (had to write verilog code- explain corner cases), state machines (detect a sequence), 4-5 Puzzels, Verilog questions.
