Cadence Design Systems

Basics of C++, Graphs, and other topics were asked. The interviewer was helpful and knowledgeable throughout. Brush up on all your C and C++ basics before stepping in after the resume shortlisting round.

There was 1 online phone technical interview. They asked DSA stuff. It was then followed by a final interview which was 4 interviews back to back, testing design, DSA, and behavioral stuff. The questions were LeetCode easy to medium.

I had phone interviews followed by on-site. On-site I had 8 rounds of technical interviews. Questions from every step in the back-end design flow: floorplanning, placement, cts, STA, SI, physical verification and some scripting questions
