I was initially referred by a professor who works with Seagate back in March 2012. However, I was not called back until May 2012 for an interview. I had my first interview with 2 senior staff engineers. It was very informal. Basically, we talked about my past experience and the nature of the job at Seagate. Subsequently, I was interviewed by a couple of senior directors. The talks were quite informal and similar in nature as well.

There are 3-stages interview process. 1) The first one is the initial HR interview with a Talent Acquisition Specialist. The discussion went over the company, the role, and the expected salary. 2) The second stage is the technical interview. I was interviewed by four member of the team. They asked about my technical experiences in the previous company and how those experiences aligned with the new role. I was also asked some questions to clarify some parts of my CV that may seem odd. 3) HR asked for my feedback for the interview process and verbal confirmation that the company and the team decided to proceed with an offer.
