I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Synopsys (Bengaluru) in July 2021
Interview
I applied off-campus through a referral. After that 1-hour online test was conducted. The test had questions regarding STA, Verilog, C programming, Aptitude, Digital Circuits, and VLSI.
After the test, there were 3 technical and 1 hr interviews.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How is FPGA DEVELOPMENT done? Explain the process and its steps.
Explain the Physical design flow.
What is a sensitivity list?
Write Verilog code for a mux, counter, and asynchronous reset.
Develop a full adder from scratch using truth table, K-Map, and digital circuits.
Draw FSM to identify an overlapping pattern - 1010.
Draw and gate using NOR.
How would swapping 2 numbers get synthesized?
Write python code for printing list using for loop.
If you haven't completed your task before the deadline, what would you do?
i had to go through 2 different phases: the technical and the hr. The former lasted about 2 hour with the senior manager of the analog design department, while the latter lasted 1 hour and was mainly discussion about the salary and duration of contract

Question 1
Trade off of using NMOS and PMOS devices while designing an LDO
I applied through university. I interviewed at Synopsys
Interview
Online using zoom two interviewers, each one asking both technical and behavior questions. One hour interview . Interviewer are very nice and kind they are more care about the way you solve the problem instead of the final answer
I applied online. I interviewed at Synopsys in Dec 2024
Interview
Consisted 2 rounds of interviews each 45 mins long.
Verilog (design,test benches, output graphs), some aptitude questions, programming in prefered language and resume based questions were asked.
Oops concepts were asked
