I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SSL (Palo Alto, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
Received call from recruiter. Setup call with manager and manager's manager for later that day. Had onsite scheduled by the end of the day. Was flown into SJC in the morning, interviewed in the afternoon. Pretty straightforward and what you'd expect, job didn't seem all that exciting though-required a MS when it could probably be done by a BS or even talented high school graduate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you willing to move soon? Are you married or otherwise tied to your current city? Do you have any questions for us (this was the only question my would be direct manager asked me).
