I applied online. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Tempe, AZ) in Oct 2023
Interview
It was easy, all behavioral questions. I would highly recommend thinking of many different stories though because there are so many questions, I found myself wanting to repeat stories because I was struggling to come up with more on the spot.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Think of a time when you worked with people from different cultures or backgrounds.
Three technical rounds, coding rounds that involve some leetcode questions in various difficulty levels
Then hr round with recruiter for non technical discussion
The interviewers were not from same team
Initial screening and then team panel style interview. Questions were very specific to the team. Asked a lot of conceptual questions (i.e. how do computers work from a hardware level)
I applied through university. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Bengaluru) in Mar 2026
Interview
The Intel interview process for software or engineering roles usually has 4–6 stages. The exact number may vary by role (software, hardware, research, etc.), but the overall structure is similar
1. Application / Resume Screening
First, you apply through the Intel careers portal or via campus placement. Recruiters review your resume to check your qualifications, skills, and project experience. Only shortlisted candidates move to the next stage. 
2. Online Assessment (sometimes conducted)
Some roles require an online test before interviews. This may include:
• Aptitude questions (logical, numerical, verbal reasoning)
• Coding questions
• Basic computer science questions
The goal is to test analytical thinking and programming skills. 
3. Recruiter / HR Phone Screening
This is usually a 30–45 minute call with a recruiter or HR representative. They discuss:
• Your background and education
• Skills and programming languages
• Your interest in Intel
• Salary expectations
It mainly checks whether you are a good fit before technical interviews. 
4. Technical Interview Round(s)
This is the most important stage.
