Took about 1-2 weeks from phone screen to interview. The interview was a mess. One person did not show up for whatever reason and the other answered phone call during interview. Unless your factory was on fire, that was just plain rude. Not recommend this company.

InterviewI applied online. I interviewed at FormFactor in Mar 2022
To summarize : Unprofessional-ism at its best. A short tempered, rude recruiter called 25 minutes late without any apologies and began asking HR questions. Asked multiple times if I read the job description and when I asked questions about the job, She had no idea about the details of the position! After all, I was told that I will receive an Email for an interview but I never received any, and basically got ghosted. I wish companies realize how easy it is for them to lose Talent! Well anyhow, good luck to them, and I would never even consider working for them after this.

InterviewI applied online. I interviewed at FormFactor in Jul 2021
Applied online and received a call from HR to schedule a quick discussion with the hiring manager. The hiring manager then set up a full interview, to be conducted online - my presentation and 6 1:1 interviews with engineers and managers. The folks I interviewed with were largely unprepared and looked at my resume for the first time during our interview. The questions were not highly technical and mostly focused on my previous experience. I have a PhD and over 15 years of professional experience and the hiring manager chose to focus on ‘why I became an engineer’ 🤦♀️ . The interview ended with the hiring manager promising to get back to me within a week. Interestingly, four months later I haven’t heard back from them.
Interview Questions
- Describe fabrication processes you developed and supported?
- Describe daily process control activities

Two phone interviews saying I would get to the next step. Then they confirmed the next interview and never called. After many emails it seemed like they outsource recruiting or are just incompetent. Completely inappropriate and unprofessional company.
