I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Micron Technology (Boise, ID) in Feb 2018
Interview
Got acquainted with the HR through a career fair in an academic conference. Initial telephone interview was conducted 1 month later by the hiring manager. The interview is mostly about very technical questions in the thermodynamics, kinetics of thin film growth. Characterization of thin film (XRD, TEM, elemental analysis). Behavior questions were also asked. Onsite interview has the same amount of technical questions from different people. The interview was long but the questions were very well asked and the people at Micron are very nice and helpful.
I applied online. I interviewed at Micron Technology in Aug 2015
Interview
1) Applied online and connected to the recruiter via Linkedin; got quick response.
2) Recruiter followed up in a week and scheduled three one hour long phone screening interview (all technical in nature; with two senior engineers and one lead in three different days)
3) Got a call from the recruiter that they are interested in bringing me for onsite interview at Boise, ID (and I can also bring my spouse with all expenses paid by Micron)
4) Day-long interview with leads and seniors engineers; positive experience, never felt tried - overall enjoyed the interview process. The recruiter was a great person and organized it very well.

6) Official offer letter in 2 days..
