Software Developer at Intel Corporation
No Offer – Interviewed in Apr 2013 – Reviewed May 18, 2013 New
Interview Details – Got a mail from the manager that he got my resume from his staffing department and would like to schedule a one hour phone interview. Later in the week I had a phone interview with me which I managed to clear. The interview was mostly about my projects and later in the second half he asked a fair amount of technical question. I was then called onsite where I had 7 1:1 interviews, out of which 5 were technical and 2 were HR based interviews. I was quite confident after the interview but didn't got any offer.

Accepted Offer – Reviewed May 17, 2013 New
Interview Details – I had sent emails to some recruiters and then I had about a 30 minute phone interview with two guys from my team and that was it. Some of my friends had on-site interviews but I never did.
Interview Question – I didn't have any experience with Perl before doing this internship and they asked me a Perl question so I had no clue what the answer was. Still got the job though and I learned Perl that summer. Answer Question

Process Engineer at Intel Corporation
Declined Offer – Interviewed in Hillsboro, OR Mar 2013 – Reviewed May 9, 2013 New
Interview Details – A manager came to our school to recruit graduate students for the process engineer position. I submitted my resume and got emailed about a 30-minute interview the next day. At the end of the interview, I was told I am going onsite. I came onsite a month later for whole day one-on-one interviews with an hour allotted for dissertation presentation. I honestly think this was among the easy interviews I had - almost no technical question, mostly about my work and experience with some behavioral questions. There was only one interviewer I remember that gave me "puzzles" to solve, but it was real life problems in the Intel fab. I was told that employees are expected to work ~60hrs/week with week-long on call rotations. Lunch with two of the employees gave me a chance to ask a lot of questions on how it's like working with Intel - they were very helpful. One of them told me that he really likes working there (coming in at 6am, having a long lunch and leaving at 5 is what he said). The other was transferred from another location and position, and told me that the previous position (design) was more enjoyable.
Interview Question – Just when given a particular problem without knowing all details. I feel pressured to answer quickly, but you gotta think about the whole picture and analyze if you are missing critical details to solve the problem. Answer Question
Reason for Declining – I had another job offer as a design engineer that I thought fits me better. The work hours, their offer package and the overall job description did not really compare to the other offer I had around the same time. I actually asked to delay turning in my decision to wait for that other offer and I had to decline a month after I received the offer. The offer came less than 2 weeks after my onsite interview. Ronler Acres is in such a beautiful town though.

Process Engineer at Intel Corporation
No Offer – Interviewed in Portland, OR Mar 2013 – Reviewed May 15, 2013 New
Interview Details – This lady that interviewed me was a very nice lady. She first started the interview asking me behavioral based questions such as, what are you strengths and weaknesses. I was able to answer those fairly easy. The technical questions came next. I was asked what type of analysis I would do to analyze a micron sized particle and the basis of the scanning electron microscopy. Overall, the interview lasted about 30 minutes.
Interview Question – What is the theory behind the transmission electron microscope? Answer Question

Software Engineer Intern at Intel Corporation
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Hillsboro, OR Apr 2013 – Reviewed May 10, 2013 New
Interview Details –
I submitted my resume online and was called by the end of the day by one of the members in the intern department. He said they were on a time crunch and has six candidates left to choose from, but my resume appeared better than others and he was wondering if I had time to interview before the end of the day. Luckily I only had one more class for the day, and accepted.
The "most difficult" question I was asked (probably because I'm a freshman) was given an array of 100 numbers in order (ie 1,2,3...,99,100) with 99 unique values and 1 duplicate value, how would I find the duplicate? I answered BST and then traverse the left or right child depending on what the root node was. He then asked me the big-Oh of it which is logn. I got a call from the original contact at Intel asking me to join them for the summer about twenty minutes after the phone interview.
Got an email the following week for me to consent to a background check and then the week after that I was formally given an offer.
Negotiation Details – No negotiation. I receive full benefits, free

Marketing Manager at Intel Corporation
Accepted Offer – Reviewed May 9, 2013 New
Interview Details – I submitted my resume to an online job site and received a call directly from the hiring manager. He discussed the position with me, and then arranged for me to go onsite to meet with various members of the team. I met with about 4-5 people, around 30-45 minutes each, with one round being lunch (I assume to assess personality and soft skills). I was also asked during the final round for my salary expectations. At the conclusion, I was told to give the process 2-4 weeks. I called in about 3 weeks, and was offered the position.
Interview Question – How do you think your interest in poetry would help you in this role (I had listed poetry as an outside interest). Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I received an offer in the mail, and I negotiated the salary higher by calling the hiring manager to discuss directly.
