I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (Calgary, AB) in Nov 2015
Interview
I got referred to my manager by my PhD advisor. I had only one phone interview. The interview was around 45 minutes and I was told that I will get the offer. The interview was more like an introduction to my job by my manager and a summary of my background by me.
