I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Synopsys (Hyderābād) in Aug 2025
Interview
The interview happened for 12 shortlisted students from 180 students who gave the assessment. 4 panelists were allotted for 3 students each. The panelist who took my interview started off by asking about my intro, my accomplishments, hobbies, etc. Then he asked the definition of OOP, a real-life analogy of OOP, which I answered properly. Following this, he gave me an inheritance code and asked for the relevant output. Then he asked questions on trees, traversal, and BST. Then asked to write a pseudocode on reversing a linked list. Then he asked aptitude and quantitative questions at the end.

He asked to write a pseudocode for reversing a linked list.
I applied online. I interviewed at Synopsys (Bengaluru) in Jan 2022
Interview
In Jan 2022, I gave the interview at Synopsys for C++ developer role, there were 2 interviews scheduled on the same day. overall it was very positive experience. The panel were very friendly and keeps pushing you to the desired result.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q) Given Singly linked list (1->2->3->4->5->6) , convert this list to (1->6->2->5->3->4). 1st's element next is nth element, 2nd's next is n-1th element and so on.
--> I gave them one solution that uses stack, but no more extra space is expected, panel was very friendly and helpful they gave me time to time hint and finally I came up with below solution.
Solution:
1) Split linked list into 2 halfs
2) Reverse the 2nd half.
3) Now merge 1st and 2nd half again.
Q) Internal implementation of Malloc function
Q) Move all the 10s at the end of the array, in O(N)
Q) Some basic questions on Hashmap, vectors, set,list
Q) Some question on OOPS, virtual functions, copy constructor, why & is used in definition of Copy Const etc.
PS: I just added this review to admire the panel, they were very kind & friendly, supportive, and give you hints to arrive at the solution.
