The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems
Interview
Recruiter reached out saying hiring director very impressed about my background and experience. First round scheduled and interviewed by the hiring director. It was short and sweet conversation as this role shares 99% of what my current role does. The interview went smoothly and was expecting for a fast turnaround. But Cadence HR/hiring director gave absolutely zero follow-ups despite multiple follow-up emails I sent. Will definitely beware of these kind situations. Can't believe such things happening in Candence, a well-respected company of my own.
