I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems
Interview
The interview process was very fast. The whole process took about 2 weeks. Most of the questions were technical and related to physical design. The staff was friendly and easy going. The process started with the phone interview followed by 1:1 onsite interviews with hiring manager, staff AEs and sales managers. The hiring manager clearly explained the job duties and expectations.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems in Jul 2011
Interview
I got hired into a location outside the US, through campus placement. The project never got started there and hence I was given an option to work in the US. Had to go through the interview process once again and it went very well. Had a phone interview and a personal interview with people at that site. Then got the offer and accepted the offer.
