Phone interview went on for 2 hrs. The manager was interested in my background and projects. Got an onsite interview call in 2 days. I had 6 rounds in the onsite interview, concentrating mainly on digital circuit design. Two of those rounds were implementation design, concentrating on RTL.
The questions were mostly from basics of circuit design. They tested timing, which is an important thing to prepare. FSM based design was tested.

First was with hiring manager, then the rest are panels.
First interview was really about what they are working on and asking about your day to day and past experience.
Then you get passed on to the panels and they normally have 2 people in each interview. Mix of technical and problem solving questions.

Three different rounds of interviews on Zoom across different levels of the team. Half of their questions were behavioral and the other half were technical. They provided thorough answers to all of my questions about the role.
