I got a call from the manager and we did a quick phone interview. He then suggested I apply and asked if I'd accept an offer if one was made. Later, for the on-site interview, I met with 6 people, including a director from another team and some senior engineers. I also met with the FA and reliability director on a separate day when I was at SanDisk for another interview. That director didn't ask any questions, which was weird, so I ended up doing all the talking. It was strange.

I found the job through an employee referral. HR reached out and set up a meeting with the hiring manager. The manager chatted with me for about 15 minutes about my school projects. After that, I had a full day of onsite interviews. The main topic was NAND flash memory. Some of the managers were tough, but most were pretty nice. About two weeks later, a different manager contacted me with a job offer for his team.
