I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Applied Materials
Interview
Initial contact through career fair. Follow up interviews via phone with hiring manager, director, and several group colleagues. On-site interview at Santa Clara with same people (single day round trip). Further contact after more than a month with "tentative offer" from a second-round of hiring. Final no offer a week later. Long interview process (likely due to winter holidays and also busy company)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some trick questions such as "Do you like making money?"
