KLA Software Engineer interview experience

After the initial screening, I had a phone interview focused on technical questions with the hiring manager and it lasted about half an hour. A week later, the process moved forward to an onsite round where the pace and format felt intense from the start: there was an hour-long presentation to the team.

At the onsite, I ended up doing a long stretch of one-on-ones after the presentation—seven technical interviews in total. The conversations centered on how my background fit the role and what I could actually do in the context of their work, not just generic “tell me about yourself” talk.
