After three phone screens, I was invited on-site Four rounds: 1) Verification (SV, UVM questions), coverage, knowledge on tools, simulator (VCS) questions, how to write testplan. I was given a simple DUT, and was asked questions about scoreboard for the design (I spent 40 mins writing a scoreboard code in UVM) 2) Perl: Problem solving skills were tested using perl. Complicate hash usage, basic File IO was observed 3) Lunch : general technical discussions. Where do I see myself 4) Logic design stuff I was in hurry to get a offer because I had others in hand. So I forced the HR to give decision immediately. I got offer next day, with a good pay
