One Phone interview
Onsite interview 6 hours
The job can get quite busy and I see most of the people engaged all the time. So you'd have to be able to cope up. There's always enough work to fill the regular 40 hours a week and you can honesty keep working more and you'd never finish your 'to-do' list. So, consciously maintaining your work-life balance becomes key.
Many people complain about Applied and claim to have a bad experience. But that depends on your Manager and team-mates.
I applied online. I interviewed at Applied Materials
Interview
One of the most harrowing experience. Stunned by the level of unprofessionalism. Scheduled interview duration was half an hour but went for 2 hours over phone. The tone of interviewer was very condescending.
Job description asked the candidate to be familiar only with Data Analytics but I was asked questions predominantly in the areas of Material Science Engineering and Electronics which is not even my major or relevant to the position that I interviewed for.
Managers did not bother to read a candidate's resume before appearing to interview them.
Sheer lack of unprofessionalism and work ethics. They also keep you in the dark for months with out letting you know the interview result.
