Interview
I was invited to AMAT for a site interview for a process engineer position. I have interviewed with 5 people from different departments. All of them had the same list of questions in front of them that was prepared by the HR department. After the first 2 interviews, I started repeating myself since they were asking the same questions. Although the people I met were technical, I wasn't asked any technical questions (except one). Even though I thought I did well, I didn't get an offer. I tried contacting my interviewers to get feedback but never heard back from them.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Applied Materials (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2007
Interview
Had a horrible interview process. Got a phone call at 10pm in the evening and took more than one hour to complete it. Several interviewers used language other than English to interview. No clear information on which position was being offered among all the openings. No communication on whether offering or rejecting the application for a while but pulling the candidate back and forth into several rounds of interviews.
