      Positive experience

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Varian Medical Systems (Palo Alto, CA) in Jan 2022

      Interview

      Three rounds over 6 months. All via video. One on one interview, peer interview, second one on one. Background check and drug screening. Staff is pretty friendly. No big egos. It takes a long time to get hired here, six months is normal per other employees. You really need to be passionate about the companies mission to get hired here. And the staff here is mostly all very talented.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Varian Medical Systems in Apr 2021

      Interview

      Several rounds of interviews, first with HR, then with an engineer, then with the manager of the team. Very pleasant process - they all seemed genuinely interested in hearing about my background, and it seemed like a conversation rather than being grilled with questions.
