Process
Met with the Applied Material team at the university's career fair. I was soon contacted for an on-site interview. The interview day consisted of several interviews with team members, one by one. Questions were mostly asked related to my past experiences and projects. They also took me for a casual lunch. In the end, a tour of the lab was given.
Questions
