I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (San Jose, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
I applied online on Linkedin and the HR contacted me the next day itself. I scheduled a phone interview in the next couple of days. The phone interview went well and they called me for a couple of onsite interviews. I was informed that they want me in the team a couple of days after the final onsite. I process was smooth, quick and professional.
