Process
The HR contractor is horrible. She didn't show up twice without saying anything. Also, the contractor was very lazy and rude on the phone.
It was very relaxed and not many technical questions. More focus was on the projects you have done related to semiconductors and your relationship with previous workers and managers. However, if you are interviewing online, you might have to do more than five different days, which might get you tired.
Questions
It was about the project that I have worked on for the past five years.

Applied Materials Work Experiences
- 5.0Intern in AppliedSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeTel Aviv-Yafo, IsraelJune 1, 2015Pros: As a student, it is a good opportunity to work in a large company. My team leaders take into account that I'm a student and I have a flexible timetable, so that I can combine study and work. Applied Materials is a multi-disciplinary company, so if you work as a mechanical engineer, you will work in parallel with software, electrical, application, and other engineers.Cons: The semiconductor field is a closed market, so if you choose to switch jobs to another company, it will most likely be to a competitor, client, or provider. In other fields, this company name says absolutely nothing, despite the fact that it has 14,000 employees.
