The people seemed happy at Intel. I interviewed in what Intel called "Engineering Rush"; they wanted a bunch of new Process Engineers in Fall 2008, prior to the economic disaster. The interview session was a day long process of interviewing with 2 to 3 current employees, including managers, at a time. I didn't ask many questions, so I later realized I had little idea of what the position entailed in terms of responsibilities, hours, and shift work. It was a cordial atmosphere, although I was still nervous, hoping to find any full time employment as I was graduating college in spring 2009.
