I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KLA (Rochester, NY) in Feb 2012
Interview
I got this interview after attending a career fair at my University. I handed off my resume and received an email from University Relations the next day offering me a half hour interview slot.
The interview was a very warm one. My interviewer was very friendly and seemed to enjoy the fast-pace, competitive work environment associated with the semiconductor industry. He was very intelligent and articulated that the company expected large growth in the next five years. He said that he was interviewing over 35 people for two paid positions and one unpaid position. They expect a lot from each member of their team.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
How many states are there in the US? (I can't believe he asked this)
One screening call, a quick tour to the lab, and a 1.5 hour technical interview. During the phone interview it was mostly to discuss a gap in my resume. The interview was on cute.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic electrical engineering questions and a behavioral question
Fair behavioral question and ask about relevant job experience. The overall process is smooth and the interviewer is easy going. Take some time to prepare for company related questions and you should be fine.
Interview with the Hiring manager was chill but he did not really ask anything about my background nor how I would fit the role.
Instead he asked me some brain teasers, which caught me off guard a little.
