Finance Manager at Synopsys
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Jul 2011 – Reviewed Oct 10, 2012
Interview Details – A company recruiter contacted me and I had 3 rounds of interviews. I thought the 3rd round was a bit ridiculous (given my experience and education) because nobody during the first 2 rounds had drilled me with analytical questions. Overall the interviewees were great, except for one person who asked some uncomfortable questions (borderline inappropriate I thought).
Interview Question – Most of the questions revolved around why I was interested, where was the fit and myself getting to know the people I would be working with. Answer Question
