I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lam Research (Fremont, CA) in Aug 2016
Interview
The entire interview lasted from 8:30AM to about 6:00PM. Although it was a long interview process, it was worthwhile as you can gain much insight into the company from the diversity of people interviewing you. You'll need to prepare and present a 45 minute to 1 hour presentation on a topic of your choice (choose wisely). The audience is a mixture of interested employees and interviewers. Nine people interviewed me in all and had lunch with the main hiring manager where he got to know me better.
I had a positive interview experience with a clear and organized process. The interviewers were respectful, engaging, and genuinely interested in my experience. I especially appreciated the focus on real-world problem solving and collaboration. Overall, it gave me a good impression of the team and company culture.
