There was an initial call from the HR. Submitted my cover letter, and then there were couple of rounds of video interview. The interviewers and the whole vibe was very cool. Technical interview along the lines of describing the projects, how would you design certain blocks and stuff like that. Got the initial offer in two days.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at ASML (San Diego, CA) in Dec 2022
Interview
In order, 1) phone call with recruiter to talk about my experience and the role, 2) call with multiple interviewers to discuss the company and role in more detail, 3) a presentation and a couple 1 hr interviews - 1 technical and 1 with manager. I wasn't asked many questions about my presentation. Technical questions were not challenging but some were too specific. Managerial interviews were pleasant but I got the feeling they were blowing smoke about how much they supported employees. After the last pair of interviews, I wasn't contacted for 2+ weeks to receive a verbal offer but by that time I had accepted a different job. I most likely would not have accepted the job either way.
