I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems in Mar 2016
Interview
Only one round phone interview. The interview included a lot of data structure and algorithm questions. Besides, the manager also asked about course related and research project and experience. Some questions included operating system, script, and coding style. The interview was very pleasant and the conversation was really helpful.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (Florida Ridge, FL) in Jun 2026

The interview was great and not hard. It was mostly problem solving and fixing code snippets. Leetcode questions like Rotate image , merge intervals, and Jump Game. They also bring graph/tree traversal questions.
The interview process typically involves submitting a resume, a phone or video screening, technical assessments or coding tests, followed by in-person or virtual interviews, and ends with feedback or an offer.
