      Materials Science Engineering Interview

      5 Apr 2012
      Anonymous employee
      East Fishkill, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IBM (East Fishkill, NY) in Apr 2011

      Interview

      I placed my resume in their database. Got two interviews from two different departments (before graduation with a bachelors). They emailed me to set up a phone interview, since I did not live anywhere near the location. Talked about my qualifications, exposure to semiconductors, etc. Did not really expect a bachelors to have too extensive a background in semiconductors, which was a relief to me. (You will learn most of it on the job anyway.) Ended up mentioning to one that I'm interviewing with the other department. He was okay with that. But I ended up only getting seriously pursued by one of them. Took a sort of IQ test, consisting of exercises that test some logic and reasoning. Pretty straightforward. I wanted to get it done promptly (in terms of starting it), but I also wanted to get it done when I was well rested. (Which was allowable, since they gave you a timeframe to do it online)

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How much exposure to semiconductors have you had over the course of your college career?
