I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Synopsys (Wuhan, Hubei) in Nov 2021
Interview
I first had one written test interview followed by one technical interview. The written test interview was open-book and quite easy for people who graduated from Electrical Engineering and were prepared for ASIC-related interview questions.
