Intel Corporation Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Detailed hiring process. As a recent college graduate, I attended a weekend at Intel, at their expense. I went through an entire day of interviews, consisting of about 45-60 minutes with each of four people. Each had a different perspective and different objectives. Some were cultural and behaviorally based, some were technical in nature. All wanted to see if I was a good fit both in personality and in expertise.

Negotiation Details – Are you kidding? It was Intel, the Nirvana of tech companies. There was no negotiation. They made a very generous offer and I took it.

Interview Details – Only had one phone interview- standard behavioral questions were asked. They really wanted someone who could show they work independently and can handle a fast paced environment. I was also asked to provide samples of my prior communications work which included newsletter copy and blog postings, they were not tech related.

Interview Details – This was a phone interview for D1DR Process Engineer positions. Got phone interview call after a week my resume was submitted in career fair. The call is mostly informative, with the interviewer describing the position/tasks for 30 min

Interview Details – First, got one phone interview for an engineering position with group No. 1. This one was very basic and informal, and most of the time was spent chatting about the company itself, my previous experience, and the details of the job.

Second interview was on-site with group No. 2. After the phone interview they had apparently passed my resume on to a different group, but it wasn't exactly clear. The interview lasted for a full day and consisted of nine back-to-back interviews in the cafeteria, with a break for lunch off-site. I had to be escorted everywhere, even to get a coffee or to go to the bathroom, and saw virtually nothing of the company except the cafeteria and a conference room. They couldn't even tell me what I would be working on, beyond the most general or basic of terms. At the end of the day I was expected to give an hour long presentation on my PhD research. Exhausting.

Most questions were technical, like "can you describe how XYZ works," but there were also a few questions like "if you had a problem with a co-worker, what would you do?"

Portland is great, the pay would be good, but I was not impressed with the job itself. These people are expected to put in 60 to 80 hours a week, possibly more if needed, plus be on-call 24/7. And, since it's a huge company that makes very precise, reliable devices, the engineering jobs require extreme specialization.

The process engineering job interview focused heavily on real-world problem solving skills. They wanted someone who had lived in the lab, who had owned a tool, and had solved complicated experimental problems on it. Theoretical or academic knowledge was not a priority.

Interview Details – one round of phone and one round of on-site

Interview Details – Review resume frst then pick 2-3 candidates for the phone interview. With a minor technical questions, pick 1-2 persons for the on-site interview. During the onsite interview, mostly see the behavior and potential whether he/she can co-work with team members.

Interview Details – Hiring Panel of 4 people asking Behavioral questions.

Negotiation Details – It was a phone call of offer, but I countered. I had to be creative, hiring bonus, stock options, 6 months review with salary raise guarantee if I hit specific deliverables.
