I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Lam Research (Fremont, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
Typical phone screen, then two in person interviews. Interviews lasted all day and had various people filter in and out of room to ask technical questions in their field of expertise. Finally ended with giving a technical presentation about a previous project I had worked on to the team.
