I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) in Jan 2024
Interview
Had a single introductory interview where the role was explained and asked some basic questions about my background. Then said I would get a HR round and a take home exercise. I do the take home exercise but never hear anything back. I emailed them and have been ghosted for weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions on my background such as what modules I took at university. Wanted to know how much C++ background I had.
Take home exercise was a simple algorithmic problem that we had to solve in C++.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (Florida Ridge, FL) in June 2026
Interview
The interview was great and not hard. It was mostly problem solving and fixing code snippets. Leetcode questions like Rotate image , merge intervals, and Jump Game. They also bring graph/tree traversal questions.
The interview process typically involves submitting a resume, a phone or video screening, technical assessments or coding tests, followed by in-person or virtual interviews, and ends with feedback or an offer.
Was okay interview asks leet code questions and recruiter bahavior questions. I was not ceru confident of some lc questions because they force me to use python and c not java
