Intel

I have been through 5 technical rounds, which concentrated on different aspects, and one managerial round. Each technical round took almost 2 hours. For validation roles, you need to know the complete bug cycle and debug end-to-end flow.

In the first 5 minutes, there was a company presentation. After that, I was asked about C, Python, and Linux (theory + code). In the end, they let me ask about the company and the job.

A two-step interview that first asks about your personal background and then about your professional background. The intent is to make sure the individual is motivated and has the skills required for the job.
