I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cadence Design Systems (San Jose, CA) in Dec 2014
Interview
The process was smooth once they got going. It did take forever to get the position through the internal works of the company. I chose to do the in- person interviews over two days as there were severl people they wanted me to meet. This is highly recommended as I often burn out when there is a day that is packed with multiple interviews.
