I interviewed at Applied Materials (Sunnyvale, CA)

Met with team members one on one to discuss the role and my resume, and had a few technical questions about my background and semiconductors. Fast responses after applying and to receiving offer.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Applied Materials (Santa Clara, CA) in Jun 2025
Interview
Had a first-round interview with the hiring manager and waited two weeks for a follow-up. I was then told I’d be giving a one-hour technical presentation, followed by 7 back-to-back 30-minute one-on-one interviews with team members the very next day. It turned out to be one of the most exhausting days I’ve ever experienced, only to receive no offer or even any feedback, which was extremely frustrating.

Question 1
The interview questions were mostly in line with what others have shared. Part of the interview was walking through my resume and discussing my research experience, while the rest focused on standard behavioral questions.
