The Applied Materials interview covered three main areas. First, five behavioral questions in a standard "tell me about a time when..." format, likely touching on teamwork, handling challenges, and leadership. Second, a walkthrough of your resume and projects, probably covering your experience and project work. Third, some ML technical questions testing concept-level or applied knowledge, possibly around models, evaluation metrics, or project-specific choices.
