I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Axcelis Technologies (Beverly, MA) in Feb 2011
Interview
Every aspect of the hiring and interview process was conducted extremely professionally and without one single issue whatsoever. I had a phone interview that was about 30 minutes long. I flew up to Boston where an excellent vehicle was waiting. I drove owthout any issues directly to the hotel. The next day I had an interview that lasted about 30 minutes followed by a short tour of the manufacturing areas. When I got home I had a full physical and drug screen. After passing this I was hired and arranged to begin work two weeks later. A perfect hiring process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked several moderately technical (electronics) questions which I did not expect as I had been out of school for over 15 years and were the type of questions that were not even applicable to the job as I found out later.
