I initially applied to the Intel job site for this position. I received a call from a team member who conducted an initial screening interview for 30 minutes. They verified my experience and asked a few basic technical questions.

After that, I received a call from a recruiter stating that I needed to be in San Jose for a technical interview with the team within one week. They made all the arrangements for travel and stay.

On the interview date, I met with the team and had one-on-one interviews with each team member. We quickly realized that my skills were different from what they were looking for. All in all, it was a very good experience.

I would definitely consider Intel for future opportunities. One piece of advice: if you are going for a software position in the device and platform team, make sure you know the basics of operating systems very well.
