I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (Livingston, Scotland)
Interview
Sent in my CV and Cover Letter via Email.
Had a ~20-minute phone interview with one of the members of the team (Gave me a brief overview of the company, the technologies they use, and some typical questions like "Why do you want to work for us").
Within a day, I got invited for an on-site interview. Was given plenty of time to prepare.
The onsite interview was roughly 3-3.5 hours. (Consisted of a tour of the building, more detail about the organisation, a 15-minute long presentation given by myself on a pre-agreed topic, and relatively straight forward conversation about the technical aspect of the job.
My interview did not consist of whiteboard questions.
There was only 3-4 techniocal questions, with no in-depth answers required.

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.
