Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
Was contacted by a recruiter. Few weeks later another recruiter contacted and scheduled an interview. Interview was very generic and resume based. Interviewer said that I'll be contacted for next steps but it'll take a couple of weeks for them to get back (since they'll be gone on vacation). Followed up with recruiter twice. Recruiter replied the interviewer hadn't given any feedback yet. The third time I follow up, recruiter sends a reject within 10 minutes.
This shows the casual attitude while hiring candidates. I'm sure that the interviewer had forgotten to submit feedback and it was getting embarrassing for the recruiter.

- 4.0Good Company if you are interested in EDASoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeApril 10, 2022Pros: My manager is nice. Good work-life balance Good company culture. Good as an earlier career choice, or for those who are interested in EDA.Cons: 1. Some departments of Cadence (especially those that involve GUI development) use their own language (SKILL), a language that both hides a lot of details of the CPU and also supports no 3-rd party library, which is not good for career growth. 2. Code review and the overall quality of the code are not comparable to other IT big named companies, which makes sense because most engineers do not have a CS degree.
