I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at KLA in Oct 2021
Interview
Good process.
1st round was tech interview. Was asked a couple of puzzles. 2nd round was a case study interview.
3rd was presentation round to test communication skill.
HR was quick to send feedback after the round was over. Overall process took about 7 days.
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.
I applied online. I interviewed at KLA in Mar 2026
