I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Lam Research (Houston, TX) in Sep 2017
Interview
There was two phone interview. First one was with the recruiter and the second one was with the project manager. I was expecting some technical questions from the project manager. But both of them asked all the behavioral questions.

Question 1
What would you do if your project has already passed the deadline?
A 90-minute panel interview that combines both technical and behavioral questions, designed to thoroughly assess not only your understanding of core concepts but also your ability to apply them in real-world scenarios. The technical portion focuses on evaluating your depth of knowledge in relevant processes, problem-solving skills, and familiarity with tools, methodologies, and industry practices. You may be asked to walk through specific projects, explain decision-making processes, or troubleshoot hypothetical situations to demonstrate your hands-on experience and critical thinking.
