KLA Software Engineer interview experience

After clearing that, I went into two programming rounds, followed by a design round and then a hiring manager round. The final step was HR.

The overall difficulty felt high enough that the earlier elimination stages mattered, and I remember the progression as pretty relentless: every round built on the previous one, and each stage had its own gatekeeping moment. I didn’t end up getting an offer, but at least the sequence was clear about what they evaluated at each step.
