I applied through university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Applied Materials (Austin, TX) in Feb 2022
Interview
Two interviews, first with a group of three, a second round with around 10 managers. Interview over teams. The entire process from application to offer took about six weeks. Human Resources representatives were pleasant to deal with.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard behavioral questions, a couple of easy technical questions.
Two rounds of technical interview and then HR.
Both rounds were focussed on technical stuff from my domain and my project.
Hr was pretty much normal and up to the mark.
Interview with three managers. Not extremely intense or intrusive. Some technical questions. Lots of open ended questions and personality characterization. I would describe it overall as a pleasant interviewing experience
