The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Seagate Technology in Jun 2008
Interview
I used my networking to get the interview. This took a while since the company had hiring freezes on and off. I went in for the interview, and I met with several managers and engineers in the hiring organization. I think I met with around 10 people.
Remote interview with two senior engineers, asked five questions overall. Were very nice and easy to talk to, gave some great background on the factory and why these roles needed to be filled immediately.

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Seagate Technology (Derry, Northern Ireland) in Feb 2025
Interview
Mix of behaviour based, past experience and how it's relevant, and motivation for joining the company /pursuing the role in particular. Not overly technical. Less than 1 hour. Overall a reasonably straight forward interview
The interview process was pretty smooth. There was a panel of interviewers that consist of HR and the department head, as my potential reporting officer. Overall, it was a pleasant experience for me.
