I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Applied Materials (Santa Clarita, CA) in May 2019
Interview
It is a phone interview. All the question is technique question, no behavior questions. In the beginning, the director introduced AMAT. and then let me tell about my project. He asked all the detail about my project, like the temperature, mechanism, why you do this. You need to focus on your resume.
First round—jod description explanation follwed by some behavioral questions. Then a couple of technical question, not in detail, just superficial ones.
Second round - very technical with in-depth questioning on process development and techniques.
PhD work summary and instruments skill set check knowledge and some case questions and intern experience and behavior questions about how to work as teams and how to commute with colleagues and some random questions

The hiring process first involves a questionnaire that you need to fill in. This interview was for an entry-level role. You would generally have 3 rounds of interviews: HR Screen, Hiring manager, and next could be with the director.
