The hiring process at Applied Materials takes an average of 7 days when considering 1 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Software Developer had the quickest hiring process (on average 7 days), whereas Software Developer roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 7 days).
I met one horrible interviewer (others were good)- The interviewer knew my previous boss and contacted my ex-boss right after the interview and let my ex-boss knew i am applying for the job at Applied. Very soon, all of my teammates at last company got to know my current application. It’s unbelievably embarrassing for me. It made me feel very uncomfortable. I do not think it’s appropriate for an interviewer to leak the applicant’s information without the applicant’s consent. My previous company and current company have business connections and such level of information leakage would damage my career (my current company would be supper unhappy about me should they know about it from contact person at last company). Isn’t there any protocol telling the interviewer that they are supposed to keep the job applicant’s information in confidence?!?!
The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Applied Materials (New York, NY)
Interview
I was contacted by an HR from amat, after some days the interview was scheduled. The interviewer joined 5 min late, no apology for that. He introduced himself saying he is a manager at amat with 15 years of experience and has worked with Microsoft before. He then asked me to rate myself in c#, wpf, winforms, multi threading and data structures. Then gave me 2 easy dsa problems solved both of them. Then he asked a question about multithreading, I didn't know that , one question on wpf. I have no experience in desktop development I, told him already. Then he asked about my compensation and the offer in hand. He said he won't be able to match it since I am very weak in dsa(which I doubt since I solved both the problems he gave with otimized solutions) and multithreading and wpf(I have exp in web development) . After an hour I got a call from HR for scheduling second round. I asked her to drop my profile as I didn't like the managers attitude, I got a very negative vibe from him, he was very arrogant
