I applied online. I interviewed at Applied Materials
Interview
Had phone call with the HR where they invited me to first zoom interview, the interview was with two team leaders, very nice persons and their projects sounded very intersting. They asked about me, why I left my previous job, what is in my interest, asked me to tell about my projects and to describe them in details.
after that interview, I got invited to second interview with the group leader, It went very good and I got invited to HR interview where I decided to cancel it and go with other contract I had in hand.

I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Applied Materials (Nueva Delhi) in May 2022
Interview
It was good.first round from someone from India very helpful guy while I was solving ds array questions.
Second round was at late night with foreigner and he was also good but it's like they mainly focus a lot on multhithreading so be prepare for that.i was not selected in second round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Total 2 rounds.
First round array ds questions like remove duplicates from array, find peak element in rotated sorted array, binary search , second highest max no and then muthithreading questions like lock and how to remove deadlock. They focus a lot on multhithreading concepts.
Second round - struct class diff (silly question)
Deadlock theory and then write code to show deadlock , then two big codes where you have to guess the output and it's also on multhithreading. What is lock.
List and linked list diff
How Dictionary is implemented internally.
In second round I was not selected.but surely this one will help someone so be prepare for multhithreading questions and very easy ds questions.
A brief overview of the organisation followed by my introduction and work. Then we went with the online platform for coding glider. The questions asked are below:
Internal implementation of Hash Map
Upside Down pyramid sum for a 2-D array which is made input using 1-D array and of N*M matrix.
