I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Urbana, IL) in Sept 2012
Interview
Campus-visiting recruiter gave a presentation for the RET department and collected resume. Contacted by a phone on the same day 2-3 hours later the presentation finished in order to schedule a 1:1 interview for the next day. Rejected on the first interview. Successful candidates would have scheduled the full-day second on-site job interview and got an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Most question about the research related ( Ph. D in physics ) like "What have you study?" "What is charge density wave(CDW)?", "How does it break the degeneracy?" I didn't express myself that I'm capable of dealing with the time pressure working conditions.
Phone screen interview with HM and then full day panel interview with various engineers and managers. 1hr research presentation then 1:1 interviews throughout the day. HR contacted with decision after 2 weeks.
Algo questions, HR round, spoke to potential colleagues. It was smooth and quick, had a positive experience, good questions asked to me, friendly and positive interviewers for 4 rounds of interviews
First phone call then technical interview on zoom with two interviewers. Asked meet code style questions. Was pretty average but one of them had bad service kept getting disconnected. So was hard to maintain conversation. And kept getting confused.
