Cadence Design Systems

Typical technical grill. Atypically hard technical questions. The interviewers had advanced degrees and 20+ years experience in the field. Everyone was very polite. Lunch was brought into the interview room, making the pressure relentless.

Held at Bengaluru office. 3 rounds of interviews. First round involves 1 DSA question and some C++ questions about smart pointers. Second round has all DSA questions. Third round had DSA questions and work related discussion with hiring manager.

4 steps so far. 1st round, 2 hours, lots of discussion about previous projects and technicalities, in depth and details. 2nd round, C++ test. There was a miscommunication about programming language about Python or C++. But the interviewer sorted it.
