Interview
I was reached out to interview for a role in the HR department. After providing my availability, I had to follow up with the coordinator only to be informed that the phone screen was going to take place the same day. After two weeks of no communication from the coordinator, I followed up again for the next steps. Was brought onsite to meet the team and complete an Excel test which was delayed because the interviewer did not have it ready. Got news that the team wanted to bring me back for final rounds/final call and to retake the Excel test because it didn't save. The coordinator did not confirm the final call so I was taken by surprise when the hiring manager called. Lack of communication and the technical difficulties were very unprofessional.
The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems
Interview
Hiring manager called me for a first round phone interview. Hiring manager was 15 minutes late calling me, no email to inform me at all. Not only was this person late, sounded like they were driving on the road! Completely unprofessional. This is not the type of supervisor I would ever want to work for. Mind you, an interview is a two-way street to discuss potential fit, it's not one sided. Perhaps it is just this department/manager, but a red flag for me.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (San Jose, CA) in Jul 2015
Interview
I had a great experience in the interview process - it was comfortable, open, and the flow of the questions and feel were very welcoming and topical. In addition, my interviewer, now manager, spent time explaining the position and what exactly the duties and responsibilities would be.
