Intel was generally a great place to work. I loved the fact that training programs were available to all employees, and that we all got our own laptops.
Engineering was a very cramped cube farm. I would have preferred a more open environment with windows, meeting areas, etc.
Micromanagement wasn't prevalent, but it is always something that should be avoided. Managers should always be looking for ways in which to help their employees grow.
First, a phone interview with the manager covering questions on basic CMOS characteristics and profile discussion. Another round with another member of the team covering Verilog, digital circuits, and DFT.
It started with a 1-hour phone interview. I was asked the basics of cache, memory, FIFOs, and a little bit of C++ like OOPs, etc. Then I was called onsite for an interview at the Folsom campus.
Gang interviews. Looking for qualifications that you would already need to be in the group to possess. The group seemed to have an null charter yet expected specifics in employees. Not very well organized, with no real drive to impress.
