Took an initial call and they were friendly. Asked a few questions about my background and described all the teams that were open. Decided not to continue as their interview process is very long now.
Interviewed for silicon team. Have only been asked about the domain specific knowledge in 1st round and system design in 2nd round and C coding in 3rd round.
The interviews were 50 mins each.
