I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Synopsys (Marlborough, MA) in Feb 2018
Interview
Two telephonic interviews. One was purely on Hardware and the other on Software. The first one was by the hiring manager and the other by a team member with more software skills. Both the interviewers were helpful and were open about the hiring process. They promptly got back to me after the interviews. After the informal offer, had another call from the HR. Discussed the work, some behavioral questions and was confirmed the offer at the end of the call.

Question 1
i couldn't clear the first round : Basic Coding, binary search, sorting, etc
Interviewer was bad not at all interactive and interested in taking the interview looking like had a fight at home before taking the interview. I don't like the interviewer but can't do much as it's randomly allocated and it's all about luck of you get good interviewer or not. But atleast interviewer should be responsive.
There were two interviews for me. First one is from the technical team. The Second interview is from the HR. Mosty they ask Object Oriented programming related technical questions and DSA related questions
