I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Synopsys (Sunnyvale, CA) in Mar 2014
Interview
I gave a presentation before the interview, so the rest of the interview is mostly concerned with that. Also they try to relate the problems they try to solve with my research, quite comfortable conversation and nice people. Very basic programming question and everyone seems to be concerned with how many lines of code you have wrote.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Not a particular difficult one. Some of the problems they don't even know the answer, just show your logic of thinking, not necessarily the right result.
The recruitment process consisted of an offline test, followed by interview. The interview was basic dsa and an puzzle at the end. Questions regarding sorting and binary seach were asked

Question 1
i couldn't clear the first round : Basic Coding, binary search, sorting, etc
Interviewer was bad not at all interactive and interested in taking the interview looking like had a fight at home before taking the interview. I don't like the interviewer but can't do much as it's randomly allocated and it's all about luck of you get good interviewer or not. But atleast interviewer should be responsive.
There were two interviews for me. First one is from the technical team. The Second interview is from the HR. Mosty they ask Object Oriented programming related technical questions and DSA related questions
