Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. El proceso tomó 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Lam Research (Fremont, CA)
Entrevista
In general, it was a good experience. The entire process took approximately 1 month. After applying, I had a phone interview with one of the senior engineers. This call is an interview! they will ask you questions, and you have to be ready. Then, I had a panel presentation with 4 individual interviews right after.
My recommendation is to know your research very well, practice your presentation, and work on how to handle the pressure. I think they like people that can think well on their feet.
