Interview questions [1]
Question 1
About myself, project and data structures and algorithms
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Synopsys (Hyderābād) in Feb 2025
Interview
The interview lasted about 1–1 hour 15 minutes with two interviewers. They asked a mix of technical and general questions, and overall it went smoothly. However, the company’s response cycle was quite slow and delayed. After the interview, I received feedback that I was good for a 3rd-year student and should keep learning. Initially, I got a rejection mail, but a few days later they called me again to check for immediate availability. Later, I received another rejection mail, which made the process feel a bit confusing and inconsistent.
