Senior Photonics Engineer Interview Experience - Boston, Massachusetts
Process
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.
The overall interview process is smooth, and it took a standard 3 rounds within a month. There will also be an offer presentation, which is pretty nice. The team interview is full of technical questions. I wish in the future LM can provide more time on the feedback of working experience so that the candidates get the chance to know the working environment a bit more.
