I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Applied Materials (Santa Clara, CA) in Aug 2019
Interview
I did a couple of phone interviews and then was flown to their headquarters in Santa Clara. In Santa Clara I had 8 back to back interviews so it made for a long day. Some of the interviews were technical while others were conversational in nature. We capped off the day with a tour of their machine facility where they make prototypes and train new engineers.

I interviewed at Applied Materials (Santa Clara, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
The interview is moving smoothly in a hotel with many new colleague graduates, but be prepared to the question about how to deal with working pressure. The people are very nice and easy going, did not give many hard questions. Overal it is a good experience.
