Easy interview

Application

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Mumbai) in Jul 2018

Interview

The interview started with extremely irrelevant questions. Then 2-3 very normal and relevant questions that I answered. Highly unprofessional way of conducting the interview. For the second interview they called me without intimation and asked me to take pen and paper and give interview.
