      Senior Software Architect Interview

      11 Mar 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Sunnyvale, CA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (Sunnyvale, CA) in Feb 2020

      Interview

      30 minutes phone screening with HR + 1-hour technical phone with the hiring manager. Onsite one week later: 7 interviews with no break! (no lunch, no water, no coffee). The youngest interviewer was at least 60! The wort interview ever! except for one guy, all the rest were rude and trying to humiliate. No respect at all. The hardware guys keep asking hardware verification until you don't know the answer and then they start bragging about themselves. Software guys are softer!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1-The "Hold-Time" is violated for 1ps, what do you do? 2-Design an XOR only using NAND and prove mathematically your answer is optimal 3- The rest were Leetcode data structure.
