I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems in Apr 2008
Interview
It was very well organized. I joined as a fresher and there was a written test followed by 2 technical face-to-face interviews. The HR was prompt with their communication and even the induction was very well managed. Overall the experience was positive and I was made to feel important throughout the process.
