I applied online. I interviewed at Astera Labs (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2024
Interview
It was total 2 rounds:
1st 1 hour technical screening.
2nd 3 hours onsite interview.
It was good but the last interviewer was not at all interested.
He joined late and then wanted to wrap up quickly.
Not a good experience.
