I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems
Interview
The whole process took 1 week and a half.
First I was contacted by an external recruiter, who arranged me a first phone interview with a manager.
Then I was invited for a second-round face-to-face interview (of course flights, hotel and taxi were paid).
Everybody was nice, friendly and super polite.
