Process
Phone call interview. I found the job on Indeed and applied online. I got the phone interview one month later. Mainly behavioral questions. The interviewer had some accent, thus it wasn't that easy to understand his questions. But those were pretty relatively simple questions.
This Mechanical Engineer position is located in Austria. I haven't gotten any news after the phone interview. I guess there should be an on-site interview afterwards if you are chosen by them.
Good luck!

Lam Research Work Experiences
- 1.0Innovative Engineering, cubicle corporate lifeMechanical Engineer • Current EmployeeJanuary 15, 2025Pros: You get to work on some highly innovative engineering projects here, and at least you get paid well.Cons: It's far too large and corporate for my own liking now. I used to be able to have a lot of time to do meaningful engineering. Now most of it is spent doing meaningless bureaucratic paperwork. There are too many program managers who ask for updates and then do nothing to resolve roadblocks for you, but are happy to get credit for running a "smooth" program. There's no career progression here really. It's just a matter of chance and who above you leaves or what budget allows.
