The most unprofessional recruitment process I have ever participated in. Disrespectful attitude towards candidate. In the first steps of recruitment the company contacted me always by the phone and the recruiter was available. After the 3rd interview I have not received any response for 7 weeks and I stopped getting responses for my e-mails. At the end I got the automatic e-mail declining my candidature without one word of information explaining the mismatch between the company expectations and my candidate profile.

Other Application Engineer interview reviews for KLA
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.
I applied online. I interviewed at KLA in Mar 2026
