I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Applied Materials (Rehovot)
Interview
Very long and frustratrating.
Online interview
Then home assignment
Then office technical interview
Director interview.
They kept me hanging by a thread..
They told me that they try to solve I too, which makes me think I did the job for them for free.
They scheduled all interviews to one hour. At reality it lasted three hours each!
The director failed me and I have no idea why. It lasted 30 min in zoom and he actually read the questions from a form and just wrote my answers. barley had any discussion with the rude dude.
