      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Broadcom (Santa Clara, CA) in Jun 2015

      Interview

      The hiring manager called me for a phone screen. He went over the resume and ask about the project experience and also describe the skill and experience he is looking for. A few days later, HR contact me for an on-site interview in the Friday. They were nice enough to let me come in to have on-site interview from 4-6:30. The on-site interview were separated into 3 sections and each each section comes 2 interviewers. They started with asking the experience on the resume and then asked a few technical questions. It took them more than a week to give me the offer.
