I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Pilani) in Jan 2012
Interview
It was an on campus recruitment. The technical round was for about 1 to 1.5hrs. Focus was just on the basics of CMOS and other VLSI design concepts. Few questions were asked about Verilog coding as well. The interviewer was quite friendly and was open to discussion. Overall experience was good and the job offer was made the very next day.
I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Santa Clara, CA)
Interview
Questions on physical design concepts , syn and apr
Sta questions about constraints
Concepts of transistor physics
Phone screen, multiple round, followed by conversation with the hiring manager
Overall good experience
Five engineers, a manager and director asked medium level engineering and architecture questions including proof of structured coding and design skills. Each interviewer had varying questions. They rated at 0 (won’t work with candidate), 1 (adequate) or 2 (exceptional hire) for a team survey of votes to compare multiple candidates.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design a state machine to control a four way intersection of varying time traffic lights.
long but effective. 4 rounds of interviews ( quiz questions, computer architecture, past projects, leadership experience, basic algorithm questions, coding, etc.) each last 40 min. results came back after 10 days
