Synopsys cruelly lacks consideration for candidates.
I applied in September 2024 and despite several interviews and reminders, I'm still without a reply in February 2025. This radio silence after an investment of time and energy shows a flagrant lack of professionalism, especially for a research institute of this scale.
This negative experience contrasts sharply with the seriousness of the other companies I've dealt with.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Synopsys (Burlington, MA)
Interview
It depends on the team you apply to. I had behavioral questions, a couple easy leetcode question, and a resume deep dive. It was very casual for me and everyone was nice. I have seen others get small project assignments and take home assignments. It really depends on who your interviewer is and what team you’re applying to.
