I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Applied Materials in Mar 2014
Interview
Called for on-site interview, and got interviewed by five managers/directors. Asked questions on my phd research, very random and broad. Also some questions on CVD, etching. No research presentation required.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Applied Materials (Santa Clara, CA)
Interview
I met with several people, each for 30-45 minutes. Very traditional approach. People were cordial and friendly.
Things move very slowly. No one at Applied is ever in a hurry to hire anyone.
