After responding to an online advertisement from my college career center, I was contacted via email about the position asking if I was still interested. After responding yes, I was emailed a written screen that consisted of 30 or so behavioral-type questions (i.e. have you ever worked after hours or on weekends? what kind of people do you enjoy working with? who would you not want to work with?) and given a week to complete it. After submitting it, I was contacted again via email asking for a range of times to set up a phone interview which would take 45-75 minutes. The phone interview took about 1 hr and started with the interviewer discussing the company and the position. After that, I was asked a lot of questions about my background, previous research, and a few technical questions. The interviewer was very blunt and would comment on why it took me a little longer to graduate, what I should have done instead, and how long I have been looking for a job (which I took as a little rude). At the end of the interview, the interviewer's answers to questions about the company would be very brief and wouldn't expand further. I was told to expect to hear back within a week, which I did, to find they were going to pursue other candidates, which is fine with me because after my phone interview I didn't have the best feeling about the people and culture there and decided I wouldn't want to work there anyway.

Long but fair. Started with an HR interview where I was asked standard questions as well as a time where I had to solve a technical problem and the steps I took to do so, then a 2nd phone interview with a manager who was friendly and polite. I was asked a combination of questions from what I am looking for in a job culturally,, behavioral questions, and some very straightforward technical questions pertaining to LEDs and semiconductors. I am preparing for my 3rd interview now and was told to expect 4 total before an offer. All the interviews are still over the phone, none in person. For the 3rd interview I have been asked to prepare a 30 minute presentation on research or a project I have completed and to expect 30 minutes of follow up questions from 3-4 R&D managers.
