Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
The interview process consisted of a initial telephone screen by manager and an onsite panel interview.
The interview process was smooth, however the decision process is very long. Typical interview questions like 1)Why this company 2)Previous experience 3)Challenges faced and my approach towards resolving them etc were asked. It would have been perfect job and location for me. Even though I got a positive feedback I didn't get the job!
I wish alleast they mailed me that I didn't get the job!

I sent in a resume and received an email about my interview date. I went in for an interview and it was a group interview. They asked us general questions and there was nothing I wasn't able to answer. The process went by fast and wasn't hard at all.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Fremont, CA (took a day)
One group member called me and asked me some background. Then the HM called me to follow up. The onsie was scheduled in the following week. The group members were friendly and very smart. I was asked a lot of questions during the presentation. A HR called me and gave an oral offer the second day. I immediately accepted.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 6+ weeks)
I've had experiences with interviewing with Lam and this one follows past experience. I was called by the recruiter and asked if I would like to interview for the job I applied for - I said of course. 47 days went by and I had a pleasant enough conversation with the hiring manager who said at the end that she would have the recruiter arrange to get me out there to talk to other people. Six weeks have gone by an no call. This also happened earlier in the year when I applied for a different job - recruiter calls, asks if you are interested and in the end, no call backs. My sense here is they want to hire local but advertise and contact people nationally - its a bit disingenuous - especially when they indicate they want you to come out and interview with others and then they never call.

Interviewed Oct 2008 (took 2 days)
The interview took place on two days. The process is to decide whether you are a fit to the company. You need to have strong academic background to show them that you can learn fast. You also need to be a team player as well as client service oriented. You need to have excellent communication and negotiation skills when dealing with internal and external customers.
