I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at KLA (Milpitas, CA) in Nov 2009
Interview
Gave a presentation in the beginning of the interview. Then had individual interview with about 6 people. There was not set roles for each interviewer, they did not divide into personality interview, technical interview, stress test, behavioral type interview, etc. Got offer the next day.

Other Applications Engineer Interview Reviews for KLA
Fair behavioral question and ask about relevant job experience. The overall process is smooth and the interviewer is easy going. Take some time to prepare for company related questions and you should be fine.
