The interview questions were relevant and they went through different levels of knowledge to gauge the depth of experience. Overall a positive experience. There was an initial phone interview then an in person interview with some of the team members.

Interview process was very casual, asked very simple behaviour question and technical question regarding the position. Phone interview with the team and then onsite interview the Hiring manager and asked simple question.

Got a call from HR for details and for setting a technical interview date. In the technical interview were two people that asked me one question. After a few days got a call from one of the technical interview guys with the answer.

Zoom interview consisted of 3 extremely basic software related questions followed by a slideshow about the company. Overall took only about 15 minutes. Got to second round but declined to proceed.

The process went pretty smoothly until the offer came. I got the offer and sent an email asking clarifying questions as shown below. The manager was clearly upset that I asked about WFH for a second time. However, after reading that the job description stated, “ This position is an in-office position; working remotely is not available without corporate direction.” I wanted to verify that it absolutely was not a possibility because the description seemed to suggest corporate could allow for it. She emailed me back, upset about the questions I asked. Within an hour or so I got a call stating that based on the emails I had sent with my questions that they would rescind the offer. The questions seem very routine to me so I’m sure I dodged a bullet not getting this position. 1. Do you write API documentation? I am currently looking to learn more about APIs and I'm enjoying developing my skill-set with API documentation at my current job and want to know if that is possible at Broadcom. 2. I know we've discussed that this is an entirely in-office position. Is work-from-home completely off the table or would there be room for negotiation for even one day a week? 3. I am really looking for a company that values work/life balance. How flexible is the work schedule? Is flex-time an option? 4. Do you have somebody I can reach out to about how they feel about work culture within the department? 5. I realize I asked this in a previous email but thought I'd tack it onto this one so there aren't two emails about it. How long would I have to use the $35,000 moving budget? I would be hoping to move my family eventually but I would still need to leave them with a home here in Utah until that is possible. In previous companies I've had up to a year to use that budget. Is it the same at Broadcom?

Got the call from recruitment agency. Then Broadcom manager scheduled first round where he asked 2 coding questions & a few general questions. It took about 70 mins. Then he scheduled another round of discussion saying next will be designing round. Next round was taken by some other person & its was not on system design, Java questions were asked where I messed on 2-3 simple questions. And the discussion was cut short to 30 mins. In one question I knew I am missing something which interviewer could have corrected, but no. So its a red flag in itself.

1hr interview process and the vacancies was fixed for the candidates who were having recommendation. There was a written test of 60mins to filter candidates in first round it was pretty easy but selection depended fully on interviewer.

Talked to 5 engineers and was a full day on site. The level of questions were different and covered many topics. They were overall friendly and enjoyed talking to them.
