It took me one day to fly here and stayed at a local hotel. The second day was filled with presentation and conversations with various people. It went well. A couple of week later, HR notified me that I got the offer. That was a decent start salary, which unfortunately doesn't go up much later on.
Autres retours d’entretien d’embauche pour un poste comme Senior R&D Engineer II chez Synopsys
J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Synopsys (Mountain View, CA) en mai 2016
Entretien
I contact the hiring manager at LinkedIn. After a week, I got a phone interview with 5 engineers. They invited me to fly to California for an onsite interview. We spend the afternoon talking about my Ph.D. dissertation and discussing program languages, advances in new technologies, EDA industry, etc. It was a very pleasant experience.

Entretien
One approximately four hour interview, with 1-on-1 sessions with 3 engineers and the hiring manager. The overall process was pleasant and the questions were relatively easy. Salary and benefits negotiation is straight forward, as there were not a lot of room for it.

J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Synopsys en oct. 2013
Entretien
Applied on-line, and was contacted about 2 weeks later. First 1 hour HR interview (standard HR questions: strengths/weaknesses, why Synopsys, why you, etc.), then 1 hour interview with a hiring manager. Then, on-site interview (~5 hours: 4 x 1 hour 1:1 or 1:2 meetings). Then, 3 x 1 hour phone interviews with senior R&D people. Finally, one more quick HR interview. A bit of a wringer, but overall a very positive process, as everyone was very friendly, helpful, and interesting to talk to. No complaints.

Question 1
Some of the technical questions were quite challenging, however nothing unexpected. Make sure you're up and up on the technology for the group you're applying to. if you're coming from academia be prepared to discuss and present your research effectively.
