I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Synopsys (Mountain View, CA) in Sept 2015
Interview
My PHD advisor referred me and I got a telephone interview from Synopsys.
The hiring manager of the R&D group telephoned me.
First he described the position to me (test automation R&D).
Then he asked me several questions ranging from C++ to circuits.
Last he wanted to know when I can start working.
Haven't heard from them after the interview.
