I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Marvell Technology (Petah Tikva) in Nov 2015
Interview
Met with 2 interviewers. Very nice people who gave me great friendly filling. They actually wanted to learn about me, and what I've done besides what's writting on the C.V. and besides my gpa.
The interview itself goes in a friendly environment, they describe what the company does in general, then ask you to them about you, a project you did.
Then they go into more details about the actual job, and company.
Next, they gave me a test: 30 minutes to write code (in C) to 2 questions. I was left alone during that time, and they came back after 30 minutes to go over my solutions etc.
Last, they asked if I had any more quesionts, and told my about the process in general.

I interviewed at Marvell Technology (Santa Clara, CA)
Interview
The first-round interview was conducted by a Senior Director. The interview process was relatively informal and less structured than interviews at larger technology companies. During the technical portion, the interviewer used an older-style development environment and asked many questions across different areas rather than focusing on one specific topic.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Marvell Technology (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2025
Interview
2nd round interviewer (1 on 1) was blunt and inquisitive, not very friendly in tone, abruptly interrupts when I was in the middle of my sentence. Not turning on camera so I had no visual cue of whether my answer addressed the question or not. Felt like being interrogated. One of the more unprofessional interviews I have for this hiring season, frankly I consider this to be the worst interview I had.

This interview gets a speical spot for me atleast, First you have a zoom interview with the team leader.
Asks a simple question in python and 15 general question in python.
In the second phase you get an interview in the company with a little show of the lab and the work zone.
After that two questions but for me the interview was not relevant.
the team leader was very not professional and not nice in his tone of voice and .
At the end of the interview he thought I was other candidate which is very not professional.
