I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lam Research (Singapore) in May 2021
Interview
Quite smooth, Will have 3 rounds. HR call is 1st round just to understand you briefly - but also need to answer properly. 2nd round was with FSE manager and then 3rd round with director. (but i heard later batch only interview with team manager)

Question 1
Quite smooth, Will ask usual questions why want to join lam, why leave previous company. Why do u have advantage over the other competitors for the same role? (How is this not 30 words?)
During the interview, the hiring manager appeared disengaged and repeatedly scrolled his phone while I was answering questions. This happened several times and came across as disrespectful and unprofessional. In addition, the HR manager interrupted me multiple times while I was responding, which made it difficult to properly communicate my answers.
Overall, the interview experience felt unwelcoming and poorly conducted. It was disappointing, especially for a company of this reputation, and it raised concerns about the team’s professionalism and workplace culture.
Tough technical question by HR. HR goes by the book . Very tough Public relation questions .FSE manager is ok and asks about technical question which is easier to answer him because he understands
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lam Research (Hsinchu) in Oct 2025
Interview
The initial interview will be scheduled by phone, during which you will be asked to prepare a 10-15 minute self-introduction, all in English. The subsequent 45 minutes will be conducted in the local language. I believe the interview will focus more on your personal qualities, problem-solving abilities, and thinking skills.

Question 1
The future can be divided into short-term, medium-term, and long-term. Do you have a vision for this company?
