I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ABB (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2022
Interview
The interview was very decent. I got an invitation email from the hiring manager directly. There're two rounds totally. The first one was a 15-min video interview. The hiring manager just asked several general questions regarding my expected graduation date, available timeframe and immigration status.
The second one was a project presentation interview. There're two senior engineers interviewing me. You just needed to choose one of the projects you've done and presented the details.
The whole process took about one month. I don't get any feedback after the second round. There was NO recruiter during the whole hiring process at all which is very unprofessional. I assume that they fulfilled the position already.

Great interview process. Asked a variety of questions about my past experience and situational type of questions to get to know more about me. They seemed genuinely interested in my answers and wanted to get to know me more. They were very kind which is a quality I always look for in recruiters.
