Rotation Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
This was for an interview to be in the Intel-PSG Rotation Program. About a month beforehand, I had a phone interview with the head of the program, which was a pleasant 30-minute call. If they saw fit, they would schedule an in-person interview.
This was divided among five people, with about an hour spent with each person. Each one represented a different aspect of getting to know you. Only one or two would really get into technical questions, still in a semi-casual environment.
Overall, along with the communications in arranging the interviews, they were very able to make the interview as least stressful and intimidating as possible. Still, it's best to be ready on your material.
Questions
Most questions were personal and focused on who you are. Some questions, depending on the interviewer, might cover basic Verilog software topics, aligning with the job and your stated expertise.
