I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Folsom, CA) in Nov 2010
Interview
The interviews for the Nand group are very simple, based on logic design device physics and simple circuit questions. Its a cake walk to clear the same. People are amiable, however the technical experience that you get out of this job is very little compared to working in GPU, CPU teams.
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
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
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
