I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KLA (Bengaluru) in Dec 2015
Interview
Aptitude questions, group discussion, algorithm based interview
Presently they are more interested in hardware jobs.
As long as you have engineering degree, the specialization doesnt matter much.
If you are looking for core coding jobs, then KLA is not the best option, IMO.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KLA (Milpitas, CA) in Nov 2025
Interview
The interviewers were nice and welcoming. Initially, an online screening happened through resume shortlist. Then the interview took place online. However, the interview was on problem solving rather than technical.
3 rounds of interview done. HR interview, zoom interview and a technical presentation. Potentially still have another round of interview with directors. Interviewers are friendly, nice and welcoming. Do not feel pressured or stress during the interview.
