I applied through college or university. I interviewed at KLA
Interview
The interview process consisted of 5 rounds. There was a group discussion first followed by a short interaction with the employer's. There they explained a short version of a few algorithms they use and asked us to solve 4 related problems in 30 minutes. This was followed by a technical interview where the previous test was discussed and a few puzzles were asked. After this was the HR round and finally there was a case study round
Fair behavioral question and ask about relevant job experience. The overall process is smooth and the interviewer is easy going. Take some time to prepare for company related questions and you should be fine.
Interview with the Hiring manager was chill but he did not really ask anything about my background nor how I would fit the role.
Instead he asked me some brain teasers, which caught me off guard a little.
