Software Engineer Interview Experience - Portland, Oregon
Process
Had day-long interviews starting from 8 am to 4 pm. I was interviewed by members of the hiring team and sister teams.
Each interviewer asked questions on different topics, all related to the skills required for the job. Since it's a processor company, more stress was given to architecture and micro-architecture-related questions.
Questions
-
How C++ compilers implement polymorphism.
-
Explain all the advanced compiler optimizations I am aware of.
-
About superscalar architecture, cache coherence, pipelining, and out-of-order execution.

- 2.0You can be a good engineer, but will you be appreciated?Software Engineer • Former EmployeePortland, Oregon, United StatesMay 9, 2016Pros: Pretty good benefits, decent pay.Cons: My experience at Intel has been pretty horrible. The job I applied for and the work promised never came, and I spent the entire time either training subpar contractors or rewriting tests after a senior engineer. My time was expandable, with no hard limits on when I would not be on some sort of "on call." Compensation is VERY low compared to other companies in the area, $20k+ lower than similar positions in the area. I did not like the competitive feel brought on by the "focal process" in the company. HR support was minimal.
