      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (San Jose, CA) in Sept 2018

      Interview

      After my phone screen with HR, I interviewed with six people. They were the team leads from R & D, Operations and HR. Everyone asked thoughtful questions about my resume and background. They were also helpful and answered my questions. Once I got an offer, HR was responsive and helped me get through all the onboarding paperwork quickly, so I could start within 2 weeks.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Describe your experience in managing a team this size. If you don't get the necessary response to your emails, how would you handle this?
