Lam Research Senior C Computational Physics Math Developer Semiconductor Applications Coventor interview questions

About the interview process: - The interview process was very slow and disorganized: they missed scheduled phone calls and rescheduled several phone interviews at the last minute. - It seems the guy in charge of coordinating interviews was busy with other business because he was very relaxed about replying emails: it was a constant to email him twice to get an answer after each interview. - I had two interviews on the phone. The questions were mainly related to programming. You don't need to have specific knowledge on semiconductors. - About the onsite interview. I had to prepare a 30-45 minutes presentation. I also had four one-on-one interviews with members of the team. The questions were not difficult and mainly focused on modeling and programming. - You don't need a specific training or preparation for the interviews. About the company/team: - The guys seem to be nice but not impressive at all from a technical point of view. - The company is very specialized and the market is narrow (and not in expansion). The technology is also well established and there is small room for improvements or changes. - The products of the company seem interesting but the style is kind of old-fashioned (I suggest to see the website of the company). - The work environment seems to be relaxed. - No clear opportunities for career development. - The office space and resources are not above average when compared to other software companies. - It is not the place to work if you are looking for something challenging or with exposition.
