There were 2 phone interviews, 2 face to face interviews with different people. Entire interview process took about 2 weeks from the 1st phone interview to offer. Average interview difficulty
After a strange 30 min interview with the hiring manager, the HR talent acquisition never contacted and gave update. Strange because of the following:
1. The hiring manager (his title is AE) never introduced himself. Had his video off the entire session.
2. Seems they are looking for a person who already had worked with their tools / coming from Metrology background.
3. No probing question. No idea how the interview was judged - apart from what is already written in the resume.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Onto Innovation (Shanghai, Shanghai) in Jan 2022
