I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Synopsys in Jan 2015
Interview
After applying via LinkedIn, I received a phone call. The person told me that they were interested on my profile and right away asked me a few technical questions.
After a week, I was invited to do an onsite interview. I lasted all morning, from 9am till 12pm.
First I talked to the manager about the position and my CV, and then I went through a series of technical questions with two different people.
After a few days, I received an email notifying me that they wanted to hire me.
After a round of negotiations, I accepted the offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
By phone: hash tables, their implementation, worst-time complexity, when does it happen; balanced trees, what are they used for, details about their implementation; plus some basic questions about C++ (virtual functions, inheritance...)
Onsite: the questions began easy and at the end thew ware difficult.
I could use Phyton/C++ to answer them.
Fibonacci (recursive + iterative), some other questions of the type: "compute the result of an operation X using only divisions by Y", and then about graphs, traversals, computing all paths, complexity; and finally some brain teasers, not easy but with their help I managed to solve them.
One telephonic phone interview, followed by two technical and one manergial plus one HR round. Technical rounds were mostly easy. More focus was on overall knowledge and design. Most of the people working were veterans, and had indepth knowledge of their expertise area.

What was the most challenging problem you solved on your current job
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Synopsys (Noida) in Apr 2024
Interview
There were 4 interview rounds, and based on the teams work mostly questions were asked around C++ and OOPS.
They focused on trees and linked list in problem solving DSA.

Question 1
Merge 2 sorted linked lists into a single sorted linked list in place.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Synopsys in Oct 2023
Interview
five virtual technical rounds on zoom call. one face to face HR round. Process took almost a month time. good experience. smooth process. revolved around C++ and DSA questions mainly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was interviewed for a C++ role. Many ques regarding the same were asked example virtual functions, pointers, dynamic memory allocation etc. For DSA, medium level leetcode questions. Focused more on Binary Search Trees and little bit on Graph traversals also.
