I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Synopsys (Bengaluru) in Oct 2009
Interview
There was a phone interview to start with, followed by a call to attend a series of face-to-face interviews. The phone interview was basically a discussion of what the job was about, but the on-site interviews were fairly technical. Questions included C/C++, and some puzzles. The questions were not too demanding.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you handle a potential disagreement with your manager?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Synopsys (Hillsboro, OR) in May 2012
Interview
The phone screen was light weight, just background check and so on. The onsite interview was a little bit more serious. The first talk was with 2 heads (one is the boss of the group and one is his boss). Both were pretty friendly without deep technical questions. Then there were 4 2-1 or 3-1 interviews, each 1 hour. Most were technical and some are tough. Covering algorithms / C++ knowledges / behavioral questions. I answered 80% of them.
