I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (Florida Ridge, FL) in Jun 2026
Interview
The interview was great and not hard. It was mostly problem solving and fixing code snippets. Leetcode questions like Rotate image , merge intervals, and Jump Game. They also bring graph/tree traversal questions.
The interview process typically involves submitting a resume, a phone or video screening, technical assessments or coding tests, followed by in-person or virtual interviews, and ends with feedback or an offer.
Was okay interview asks leet code questions and recruiter bahavior questions. I was not ceru confident of some lc questions because they force me to use python and c not java
