I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KLA (Milpitas, CA) in May 2020
Interview
Applied through LinkedIn and the recruiter forwarded up with a few questions such as start date etc. Had an online interview with the hiring manager who briefly described the job position, went through my resume and asked me to solve a coding question relating to convolutions.
Made it through to the "onsite" interviews (it was online however, citing covid reasons). First round was a 20 minute technical presentation (could be related to a project or thesis - they prefer thesis) followed by three, 45-minute interviews with the members of the team. The first interviewer forgot that he had to conduct my interview that day, so it was a relatively short interview. The other two interviews were pure technical combined with a few coding questions.
It's been a little over a month and they still haven't gotten back to me yet, despite repeated emails.

Question 1
What are your skills and what type of technical person are you?
Received an interview by tech people. Questions are about my background. I was asked about my projects and past experience. There is no technical question related. The process is smooth and relaxed.
