I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Synopsys (Bengaluru) in Feb 2016
Interview
The process involved an aptitude test and a CS background multiple choice question test.
Candidates who performed well in this were invited for an in-person interview later in the day. The difficulty of the aptitude and CS background test was average at maximum and was a lot of rudimentary and perhaps impractical questions were also included.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Synopsys (Austin, TX) in May 2016
Interview
I was referred for this position by another employee there. The interview was not with the R&D team, so questions were mostly behavioral and about my background. The in-person portion consisted of meeting with 4 engineers in the team to talk about my experience and see how I would handle certain problems or issues.
At the end of the day, the manager set up a more technical WebEX interview with an engineer that was not in the office that day. This interview consisted mainly of showing my code samples and what those projects were like.
