I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NEC Corporation
Interview
The researcher directly contacted me and make an appointment for a potential interview. The interview lasts about half an hour. I introduced my research for about half of the time. The interviewee then talked about potential future projects, and asked questions and future plans for the projects.
About a week after the interview, HR contacted me to discuss the details of my schedule, and issued an offer afterwards.

The group in NEC Labs are paper oriented, the projects are all targeting on submitting to top-tier conferences and journals.
Emailed a cover letter and resume to fellow alum regarding posted position, and was contacted a few days later by HR to set-up an initial phone interview with them. Had an initial screening interview with HR who then indicated they would schedule a phone interview with the hiring manager. After the phone interview, HR invited me to the campus for an in-person interview with the hiring manager.
