Question 1
Why did you move from one good company to this company?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Applied Materials (Gloucester, MA)
Interview
I was recruited internally and interviewed over the phone; subsequently the hiring manager also interviewed me over the phone; I was then selected for an onsite - about 30 minutes with five individuals in sequence. At the end the hiring manager gave me a tour of the factory floor, which was very nice. Ultimately, this was a very negative experience because no one had the decency to dedicate a minute to at least send me a note turning me down. I had to assume I was rejected by the silence. Very low class
