One bad apple (NSG group) should not spoil the whole bunch (Intel)
One bad apple (NSG group) should not spoil the whole bunch (Intel)
Large corporation with lots of growth opportunities for FTEs. Contractors will not benefit from any of the Intel perks. Flexible hours. The newer, remodeled areas offer a modern and comfortable work environment.
Contractors are not treated very well. Perhaps this is where the bad apple got tossed in: NSG Group (Non-Volatile Solutions Group). A very impersonal environment. I was never introduced to the team, even after several months of being there. Extremely standoffish.
Tech, believe it or not, is very poor and outdated. Think printf('This is my code %s', $var); PHP code from 1998. Additionally, staff didn't even know what a VIEW was for MySQL.
The Scrum/Agile process was also not correct. I have never groomed a backlog in the Daily Stand Up meeting. The DSU meeting also did not follow the traditional 'What did you do yesterday, what will you do today, and do you have any blockers?'
Every DSU included going over every task you were assigned in Jira. Spikes were added daily and... well, you get the idea.
Personality. Structure. Discipline.

Intel Interview Experiences

I was contacted by the hiring manager and had a 45-minute phone interview. I was then invited in for an all-day interview with four different engineers, lasting one hour each. I had lunch with one of the managers and was then shown around the labs.

One-on-one interviews. Engineers and managers would sit down and ask you questions. Questions ranged from solving a math problem to questions on game theory. The process lasted 3 days.
SSD Quality and Reliability Engineer
I had a phone interview after speaking with a representative at my school. About three weeks later, I was called for an onsite interview in Folsom, CA, and had five interviews back-to-back.
