EDA Software Engineer Interview Experience - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Process
Contacted by HR to schedule an interview with the manager. I applied online and got the response in 15 days. The questions were staright forward and I answered them well, even the manager appreciated my answers. But they sent me a reject mail after making me wait for 3 weeks and the HR did not even reply for my follow up email. Overall the questions were easy but the manager and the HR seems irresponsible.
Questions
Algorithms and data structures questions regarding linked list, array etc. questions in C++ concepts mostly in pointers.
