I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Intel Corporation in Feb 2013
Interview
Submit CV after 4 months long wait. Finally got HR's email says I am best fit and HM is very interesting on me. HM is gonna talk to me in following days. But both HR and HM are quiet another month and ask immediate talk.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
HR phone screen is nice, HM politely reviewed my skill and ask some experiences, he said couple times I am best fit in several candidate screen. 3rd interview set by foreign born technical guy with accent. Nothing difficult, but he focused on many trivial questions, rude and frequently cut-off my answers. Most are chipset spec questions. This interview was very odd, he seemed mostly interested in demonstrating his own expertise in how familiar with chipset registers offset and bits function. I know these chipset features, but I didn't memorize it prior this interview. Those register bits are not notable and no need to recite everyday. Just open spec to get it in seconds.
He questioned me many times, why I cannot memorize these registers address, it is very important blah blah blah.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Intel Corporation
Interview
Visited Intel booth at a conference and got interview next day. I would say I was unprepared for the interview. I had 20 min interview session and was asked to talk about my graduate work. I was explained about the job profile. Did not get any call for on site interview.
