I applied online. I interviewed at Synopsys in Feb 2026
Interview
I had two interviews, one with HR, one technical. Both interviews happened on Teams. It's was ok. . Got rejected after that.
They asked some simple C++ questions and coding problems.
The interview was pretty good, but I wasn't prepared for the EDA specific question since I haven't worked in that industry before. Plus points for using Rust, I really like that
