I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (San Jose, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
I interviewed with about 10 people for 30 minutes each. About half of the interviews were remote. The schedule was very practical and took into account my availability. Interviews were quite technical, and I had the opportunity to meet the key engineering, marketing managers & directors as well as the exec VP.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In order to test my behavior and thought process in front of a new problem, they tested me with the following game:
you have 3 switches in one room and 3 lamps in another room (you cannot see from one room to another), what is the minimum number of trips from one room to another to determine which switch is for which lamp.
