Interview Details –
The process began with an on-campus job-fair. This followed an Early Career Engineer job fair at GlobalFoundries. There were a lot of hiring managers from various departments present during this event. I had a chance to talk to different people and give my resume to different people. I didn't hear back from anyone for a while. After they reviewed the candidates, I received a phone call to schedule an on-site interview.
The on-site interview interview was scheduled pretty quickly and the process involved an hour long presentation on research work with a round of questions on the presentation. Following this presentation, there were 6 rounds of interviews with various technical staff and managers. This also included an HR interview. Most of the interviews were technical and delved into details of past experiences, technical knowledge pertaining to the job and also fundamental concepts.
The entire experience was very rewarding. I got to meet interesting people who really knew their field and were passionate about it. I got a positive vibe from the company and the people
