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.
