Applications Support Engineer Interview Experience - Santa Clara, California
Process
A panel of 7+ people, consisting of several IT areas including networking, robotics, proprietary and Windows software, hardware, servers, and data centers.
Just relax and answer all the questions. Think through each one. Answer and make decisions with confidence. Don't let 7+ people intimidate you; that is not what they are there for. If you have an interview, they are interested in you, or you wouldn't be there.
So, calm down. Be yourself. They want to see if you are a good fit for the role overall. You can do it :)
Questions
Many situational questions were asked, whether they were about personal relationships with other employees and how I handled different situations with them, or situations concerning software syntax, emergency/critical downs, network hardware, etc.

Intel Work Experiences
- 5.0Application Support EngineerApplications Support Engineer • Former EmployeeSanta Clara, California, United StatesJune 13, 2018Pros: A great place to work, with benefits and job opportunities within the company.Cons: None. I can't think of anything about the company overall that I did not like.
- 4.0Great Pay, Niche Embedded FocusSoftware Engineer Intern • Former EmployeeSanta Clara, California, United StatesApril 10, 2014Pros: Great salary for interns. Intel treats the interns very well, with a good salary, great benefits, a lot of online training, and other things.Cons: Intel treats all the interns very well. It is a great place if you want to work on embedded systems. However, it would be a challenge to find applications for people who do not really like embedded and firmware.
- 2.0Get a job at Intel if you want to work on silicon, but stay away from the groups that try to design systemsSenior Engineer • Former EmployeeSanta Clara, California, United StatesAugust 7, 2013Pros: Very large corporation. You'll never lose your job, even if you sit and watch movies at your desk. Good work-life balance if you don't care about advancement. Relatively good job mobility within the company. Travel budget is semi-infinite. The new CEO was a good choice because his background suggests he'll focus on architecture and manufacturing.Cons: Very political. The groups that design tablets, phones, laptops, desktops, etc., think they are doing a bunch of work that the companies that actually make these devices actually do. If the job says "platform" in the title, watch out. Very hard to advance in the org unless you are connected and have the right friends. Intel values are touted as important, but basically ignored (and I've worked in places where the values actually guide the company).
