      Software Engineering Intern Interview

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems

      Interview

      Only made it to the first round of the interview process. It was an easy technical interview focus on OOP concepts. I had one technical question wrong, and did well on the coding part, so I was somewhat confident to proceed to the next round. Some weeks have gone by without any email, so I emailed my interviewer directly to ask for feedback and status, and no reply from him either. I'm glad I did not get this job, If a company doesn't even have the spine to tell you that you got rejected, I could only imagine how they would treat their employees, when their laying them off.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What is the difference between a pointer and a reference?

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems in Feb 2021

      Interview

      The interview is estimated to take 30 minutes, but we finished a little under that time. The interview starts with an introduction. They asked about why I wanted the job. There were also several questions later that I strongly think was used to determine which role they might find fitting for you, since the job posting said that there were several roles or responsibilities. Most of the interview was spent with technical questions like what you'd expect in a coding interview. They would ask about concepts and time / space complexities. They also asked about things that's written down in your resume, like concepts about skills or attributes pertaining to a description in your resume.
