I applied through Cree's website for this position. The next day, I received an e-mail to do a phone screen with HR. The questions were pretty simple and mainly involved personality questions as well as what I knew about the company. After the phone interview, I was contacted by a hiring manager to do a technical phone screen. During this interview, I was mostly asked a lot of questions on why I left grad school with a non-thesis masters. I also got a couple of questions about what I knew about LEDs. Afterwards, I was told I would be coming in for an onsite interview. The onsite interview involves you giving a 30 minute presentation to a group of about 10 people about a technical project you had worked on. They don't ask questions during the presentation, but you meet with each person 1 on 1 for about 30-45 minutes to talk about your presentation. It was a very long process and each person kept asking a lot of questions about my reasons for leaving grad school and criticized the length of time it took for me to finish my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I also got more technical questions about LEDs as well as questions that were logic tests and basic engineering concepts. The thing I was most disappointed about was that they would not answer any of my questions with a straightforward answer. Overall, they are a company that works hard, and they want people that will work until they get the job done. I'm grateful that they at least were upfront with me about how intense the work environment was going to be, and that I realized it wasn't for me.
