      I interviewed at Synopsys (Ottawa, ON)

      Interview

      Interviewer was incredibly rude. Almost yelled at me when I took a second too long to share my screen. While presenting a project she asked me a hyper specific question about the angle in one of my measurements, which I explained was trivial to the overall design and was not measured (This was a school project). She kept repeating the same question and I had no idea what to do aside from repeat my answer telling her we never measured that angle. I was asked a question about how I would code through a problem, I started explaining the logic behind how I would code, and she cut me off, almost yelling about how I should have started with an If statement, essentially all she wanted to know was the syntax I would use and not the thinking behind the question.
