The hiring process started with a recommendation to the hiring manager who then setup a phone interview. The phone interview basically went over questions like: why do you want to work for Intel? In this phase it is important to understand the culture at Intel PTD (Portland Tech Dev) which might be different from the general Intel culture. This is the group that churns out new chips every two years. The work is intense so if you like an intense work environment be sure to give examples of why you have enjoyed this in your PhD. This was followed by an invitation to come to Hillsboro for an onsite. The interview consisted of a presentation on your dissertation work followed by 1:1 with managers. Be prepared to interview for 6-7 hours! If you go in ready for a long day you should be fine.

Very easy interview process. It took 3 months to get the offer. great work experience, poor management. strict deadlines. stressful, no work life balance, low salary, poor communication between upper management and engineers. lots of office politics
