Intel Corporation interview questions

The interviewer started with basics: 'Walk me through what happens when you type ls -l'. After I explained the syscalls and path resolution, we dove into a server troubleshooting scenario with high CPU usage. They threw a vmstat output at me, asking about memory pressure signals. The final round was kernel-focused - we discussed device drivers and interrupt handling. Overall, very systems and debugging-heavy.

Interview had three rounds, two technical and on HR session. Technical round was more focused on questions to evaluate analytical skill and coding exposure. Coding questions were moderate and confined to C and python languages.
