I applied online. I interviewed at Broadcom in Jan 2026
Interview
Phone call with hiring manager, followed by full day of onsite technical interviews with senior engineers. Onsite interviews were easy and fun, office was pretty depressing. Regret going through the process.

standard things such as CDC, FIFOs, logic optimization.
As expected. Multiple rounds to go through . Overall good experience. Need to go through phone screening first and then get to onsite. Interviewers were nice and knowledgeable. I guess it also depends on the group you’re interviewing for.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Broadcom in Jan 2023
Interview
Phone screening then 6-7 rounds of in person interview. Mostly asked about my experience, my understanding of the job role, and a couple rounds of technical questions. Only a couple interviewers had a script or notes so they were highly conversational.
