Software Engineer Interview Experience - Hillsboro, Oregon
Process
I only had one on-site interview with Intel. Most of the questions revolved around my previous work as a postdoctoral researcher and my research in school. The interview lasted from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., including a lunch interview. I met with 7-8 interviewers, but most of them were from a single team. Lunch was with the manager and the program manager.
It was a pleasant experience overall. Towards the end of the day, the program manager encouraged me to stay over the weekend in Oregon to look around and enjoy the place.
