Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Intel Corporation
Colloquio
Contacted for phone interview which lasted about 30 minutes asking various questions about research and fundamentals of instrumentation I use. Conversation ended in request for onsite interview the following week which started at 8am with a 45 minute interview followed by a one hour presentation on my work, followed by 45 minute technical interviews until about 5:45 and another 45 minutes with the hiring manager. Most engineers were young, working at Intel for anywhere from 6 months to 5 years, but mostly in the 2-3 year range. Certainly the "fresher" the employee the more enthusiastic they were.Questions were generally technical with lots of "do you have any questions?" I think they largely are trying to gauge your interest in the position, considering it's a big jump from research to process engineering/optimization. The more senior employees lacked much of the enthusiasm and tended to ask more practical questions, see below.

All the technical questions were pretty straight forward. If you know your field, it shouldn't be a problem. Some of the interviewers have no interest in leading you/helping you out, which can be a pain if their question is not very clear. The most difficult question: an inspection tool is flagged as generating particles on a wafer. The tool has numerous chambers and the wafer gets charged when chucked. I was asked how I would determine which part of the inspection process was generating particles, whether charging itself caused particles or if the particles were generated on the way in or out. After answering this, he reframed it in such a way as the particle source was ambiguous, making me come up with a means of isolating the real source. I couldn't figure this out on the fly and he explained his logic to me. I tend to process things in my head, but they're looking to hear how you would work through the problem.

Started with ~30 minutes of phone interview, usually followed by an on-site interview. There was one interviewer (a hiring manager) speaking with me on the phone. I was not offered an on-site interview though.

Colloquio
I gave a 50 min presentation to two people in the position that I was interviewing for. Then, I separately met 2 group leaders for an hour each. I also spoke separately with an area manager for half an hour. I finally met with a recruiter for some parting remarks. People were quite friendly and the day was very smooth.

Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. La procedura ha richiesto un giorno. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Intel Corporation nel mese di set 2016
Colloquio
We had an information session at my university, at the end of which anyone interested in the position handed in their resumes. Received an e-mail around 10 pm that night for an interview the next morning. The on-campus interview was scheduled for thirty minutes, however, I was only asked questions for about 10 minutes, and the rest of the time I asked questions. Still waiting to hear back about the on-site interview.
