I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Micron Technology (Boise, ID) in Nov 2017
Interview
2 phone interviews (one with HR and one technical) followed by on-site day-long visit.
Campus recruitment works best. Make connections on campus recruitment that makes interview process very easy.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
In interview, be prepared for technical questions relevant to the position.
Before technical and on-site interviews, I would suggest to read about the semiconductor processes (specially the one you are applying for) thoroughly. In interview panel, Engineers ask technical questions and managers ask HR questions mainly.
Be confident. Company is very good. I would recommend Micron. Boise is also a great place to settle. Micron offers good salary and benefits.
This was followed by an online technical assessment testing core engineering fundamentals. After passing the assessment, I had [1-2] technical interview rounds with senior engineers. These rounds were deep dives into transistor-level behaviors, layout optimization, and firmware troubleshooting. The interviewers really wanted to see my problem-solving approach rather than just hearing the correct final answer. The final stage was a behavioral panel with cross-functional managers, utilizing the STAR method to gauge how I handle tight lab deadlines, high-pressure environments, and team collaboration.
Basic questions on semiconductors, and thorough review of resume. They will go through all the experiences and the projects listed in the resume and ask questions from it. Some managerial questions as well on how would handle team work, time and pressure.

Experience on when I managed some team crunch problems.
There were 2 rounds mostly behavioural and questions based on your resume. First one was with managers and the final one was with the director . Overall the interview process was chill but the hr follow ups were pretty slow
