It's purely a waste of time. They had an online screening that itself was really difficult. Once cleared, they ask us to meet in person at Applied Materials, Bangalore.

The interviewers are from Israel: one guy and a lady. People interviewed by the guy are so lucky since the lady doesn't even take interviews for more than 10 minutes for all the candidates she saw. My bad luck, I ended up meeting the lady, and it was two simple questions: one about the current project and one question to write a test case. I did well, even though it was not so difficult. All of a sudden, she said she was done with the interview.

It happened on a weekend. If they are just conducting the interview for the name's sake, please be a little serious, considering the profile to call for an in-person interview.

I didn't even feel she was humble and could not predict what way they could judge the candidate in 10 minutes.

Is this the usual way interviews happen in Applied Materials? Then it should really be improved.

About the current project, why are you changing your job? You don't believe it? Just two questions.
