Was not offered a position after first interview due to no experience with Cadence tools. Found another job using Cadence tools and after a year I was hired. The interview was with the hiring manager and just one other engineer. There were some very tough questions regarding my design experience and knowledge of the tools. They were very professional and the culture seemed like a great fit.

I was asked specific questions regarding PCB layout including how to handle differential pairs, constraints, and multi-level highly complex PCBs.
