      Test Automation R&D Interview

      29 Oct 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Mountain View, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      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.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What did you do in your past internship? What's your major contribution? How much codes do you write every week? Which is better, multiple if statement or switch statement? What is static variable in C++? Explain call by reference and call by value. Explain setup time and hold time. If Vdd drops, how does it affect the performance of a transistor?
