Worst experience of interviewing till date. Most unprofessional interview I have ever been through. Really disappointed with Intel's process.
The process began with an HR message, followed by a 3‑interview loop:
Hiring Manager Interview (technical + behavioral)
Engineer Interview (technical verbal)
Manager Interview (technical + coding)
The hiring manager, RT, never turned his camera on during any of the video calls, which made the conversations feel impersonal and disconnected. Throughout the process, he appeared disorganized, rushed, and unclear about expectations.
After the interviews, the manager assigned a 3–4 day take‑home assessment that required building an entire Unreal Engine project from scratch. The scope was extremely large for a take‑home assignment. The assessment ended up stretching to a full week, during which the manager continued asking questions and requesting clarifications.
Despite the unreasonable workload, I completed the project, delivered high‑quality results, and the manager expressed that he was impressed.
