Interview
It was all phone interview . First recruiter call and then they fixed a call with hiring manager along with other team members for the technical interview. then they offered me to join the very next week. It was fairly easy process.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Applied Materials (Santa Clara, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
Three separate interviewers each spent 45 minutes speaking with me. The interviews felt relaxed and more similar to conversations than to interrogations. Each interviewer seemed genuinely interested in my background and what sort of work environment would be the best fit for my career goals and interests.
