- Applied Materials Software Engineer Interview Experience: Next-morning invite and limited preparationApplied Materials · Software Engineer · Aug 2026
I received an invitation for the next morning and barely had time to prepare. The interview itself was simple, with light questions that did not require much practice, but I had not had time to collect my thoughts and messed up my responses. It began as a quick background conversation about my background and why I wanted the company. Then there was a technical review with LeetCode questions. One…
- Applied Materials Software Engineer Interview Experience: theoretical DSA and same-day codingApplied Materials · Software Engineer · Aug 2026
I first went through a technical round and a behavioral round. The technical part covered standard DSA and OOP, but it was a theoretical discussion of systems-design concepts rather than live coding.

During the onsite, I completed a technical portion and met the person responsible for maintenance. HR returned with a final decision and feedback afterward. What I remember most is how long the time after the interviews…
- Applied Materials Software Engineer interview: unexpected technical onsiteApplied Materials · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jun 2026In progress
I did this interview partly for the experience, and it turned strange quickly. The first round was on Zoom. The interviewer had the wrong resume and accused me of lying about my experience before realizing the mix-up. He corrected it professionally, but the moment was tense. For the final onsite, I was told it would not be technical, which was fine because I was comfortable with LeetCode. When I…
