      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (San Jose, CA) in Sept 2023

      Interview

      A little slow, but interviewers were great and the environment seems nice. Initial screening was a phone screening with a Cadence recruiter, then another phone screening with hiring manager, then a series of interviews with different members of their team.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Experience questions asked generally about past projects in both academic and professional environments. Skill questions asked about basic things such as C++ vs. Python coding.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (Chelmsford, MA) in Apr 2017

      Interview

      The interview process was smooth and proficient. Multiple smaller interviews were held throughout a few week span. HR and hiring managers were very responsive to questions/comments/concerns throughout the entire process. All follow-ups and phone calls post interview were professional and educational. I would rate the whole process as painless.
