I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Marvell Technology (Bengaluru)
Interview
Had 4 rounds of video-based technical interviews.
Interviewers were okay. Asked questions about my projects and other programming questions.
Programming questions were based on Linked Lists, Trees etc.
The last round was by Manager. Since all rounds went well, I was expecting to hear back from HR.
But the HR never had the courtesy of letting me know the feedback in spite of follow-ups.

Question 1
A customized data structure was explained and asked how I would implement it.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Marvell Technology (Pune) in Sept 2025

Interview Experience – Marvell Technologies (DSP Role)
Recently interviewed with Marvell Technologies for a DSP-focused role. The process spanned 3–4 weeks and included:
📞 Initial HR screening – brief phone call to understand background and role fit.
🧠 Technical round – 1-hour deep dive with a Senior Architect covering:
Background and experiences of previous work.
🏢 Onsite interview – 1.5 hours at their Viman Nagar office.
Embedded C
Bitwise operations
RTOS concepts
C memory layout
Whiteboarding session and discussion on design problem.
While the role required DSP expertise, it was for a new division, and the interviewers themselves had limited DSP exposure.
Unfortunately, the experience was marred by delayed feedback. Despite multiple follow-ups, HR took 2+ weeks to respond, only to cite negative feedback from the second round — which felt inconsistent given the delay.
🔍 Takeaway:
Technical team: Knowledgeable and engaging.
HR process: Disappointing — lacked transparency and respect for candidate time.
✅ Would recommend the company for its tech work.
❌ Would caution candidates about the HR experience.

=> Well arranged and smooth arrangement by HR team, and hassle-free onboarding amidst Corvid.
=> The interview questions asked during interview were also very realistic - not of memorized algorithms but related to basic concepts and problems we come across in development
