I applied through other source. I interviewed at Micron Technology (Singapore) in Feb 2015
Interview
Very disappointed with the interview organisation. The company had called up over 300 people for interviews, all at the same time. The waiting time was absurd. There was no pre-screening of resumés. I was called for the first interview after 40 minutes of waiting. The interview lasted 1 hour and it went fairly well. At the end of the interview, the interviewer asked for my GPA. 10 minutes after the interview, I was asked to leave without any further explanations. The only conclusion I can draw is that they wanted someone with a higher GPA. But in that case, why not just pre-screen everyone by their GPA instead of calling down 300 people and wasting 4 hours of my time. Extremely unprofessional and absurd. Moreover, the interview was held on a Saturday.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Since you don't have any experience in semiconductors, why should I hire you?
This was followed by an online technical assessment testing core engineering fundamentals. After passing the assessment, I had [1-2] technical interview rounds with senior engineers. These rounds were deep dives into transistor-level behaviors, layout optimization, and firmware troubleshooting. The interviewers really wanted to see my problem-solving approach rather than just hearing the correct final answer. The final stage was a behavioral panel with cross-functional managers, utilizing the STAR method to gauge how I handle tight lab deadlines, high-pressure environments, and team collaboration.
Basic questions on semiconductors, and thorough review of resume. They will go through all the experiences and the projects listed in the resume and ask questions from it. Some managerial questions as well on how would handle team work, time and pressure.

Question 1
Experience on when I managed some team crunch problems.
There were 2 rounds mostly behavioural and questions based on your resume. First one was with managers and the final one was with the director . Overall the interview process was chill but the hr follow ups were pretty slow
