I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems
Interview
Was contacted by a recruiter. Few weeks later another recruiter contacted and scheduled an interview. Interview was very generic and resume based. Interviewer said that I'll be contacted for next steps but it'll take a couple of weeks for them to get back (since they'll be gone on vacation). Followed up with recruiter twice. Recruiter replied the interviewer hadn't given any feedback yet. The third time I follow up, recruiter sends a reject within 10 minutes.
This shows the casual attitude while hiring candidates. I'm sure that the interviewer had forgotten to submit feedback and it was getting embarrassing for the recruiter.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (Florida Ridge, FL) in Jun 2026
Interview
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.
Was okay interview asks leet code questions and recruiter bahavior questions. I was not ceru confident of some lc questions because they force me to use python and c not java
