I applied online. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
Standard phone screen followed by on-site interview. process.
The phone screen with the hiring manager was well-rounded with adequate emphasis on technical skills and familiarity with the development environment. We discussed specifics about my past experience on relevant projects. The manager was well versed with my resume before the call, which is always appreciable.
The on-site interview was split into 5 1-on-1 rounds focused on different aspects of software engineering with various managers and senior architects in the group. Areas of focus included software development principles, data structures and algorithms, core C++, code puzzles, etc. Extended discussions with each interviewer were very helpful in getting a bigger picture of the work in this division.
