I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at KLA
Interview
Applied through LinkedIn.
HR called after 2 days of Application, she said we will get back.
They got back after a month. I forgot about this position itself.
They said interview will be for three technical rounds. 2 rounds will happen in short span of time.
Lost mood due to this.
First round is coding interview
Second is problem solving
Third is design patterns.
They share sample questions. But nothing comes from it.
In interview panel they give tough questions with long length which is difficult to read and process for the time they give.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself and your work experience (they don't care, no recruiter cares, if you do DSA well and never perform well in your previous jobs you will surely get here)
I applied online. I interviewed at KLA (Singapore) in Apr 2026
Interview
HR started a friendly call and email interview set-up with the hiring team in a week. But from there, everything went downhill. HR asked for my past payslips in the beginning and I wasn't even interviewed yet. It was the first redflag. Then, HR gets quiet after receiving my expected salary. The interview itself was the worst. The interviewer was distracted, kept thinking and mumbling about her meetings. She was not a true software engineer because she couldn't accept that there can be multiple solutions to a problem.
