I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Synopsys in May 2014
Interview
Phone interview, three people called me, the first one asked about the knowledge of semiconductor, second one asked about the coding skills and asked about data structure and algorithm problems, the third one just talked and asked about behavior questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Data structure: reference cycle, how garbage collectors work and etc, what projects you have done and explain the most difficult part.
I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Synopsys in Dec 2020
Interview
I got shortlisted for the interview after a Technical Test, which contained mostly about basic C/C++ concepts (pointers, constructors, etc.). The interview went really well, answered all the questions. But I don't know what happened they didn't even contact me after the interview. I tried contacting them in all ways possible but they refused to respond. Such an irritating experience, hoping that you're about to get the offer but the company doesn't even respond.
Phone interview with algorithms questions with test cases. Also asked about the past project experience. Some behaviour questions like past experience with challenging tasks and how to solve those issues.
