      Program Manager - Business Operations Interview

      14 Sept 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Fremont, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lam Research (Fremont, CA) in Oct 2012

      Interview

      I worked through a Junior Military Officer (JMO) Headhunter, LucasGroup. They lined me up with the interview, because I told them I was only looking in the Bay Area. It turned out that they didn't partner with any companies I actually wanted to work for, so this was the best they could do. It was my first interview as a transitioning officer, so I was a total rookie. I was a bit nervous and awkward. I think we both knew I wasn't a good fit, and it lasted only about 30 mins. When a company that produces thin film transistors for semiconductors asks you, "Which do you think is more important, quantity or quality?" answering "Well, that depends on your business model..." is not going to land you the job! The feedback I got is that they were looking for someone with a stronger engineering background (nuke or EECS), which is probably true, but even if I had the resume they were looking for, I don't expect I would have passed that interview.
