I applied online. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Cartago) in Feb 2025
Interview
The interview process at Intel was structured and involved multiple stages. It began with a short phone screening, followed by a virtual interview with a manager and a senior team member. These interviews included a mix of behavioral questions and discussions in both Spanish and English.
I was then given a coding project, which I completed within a few days. The final stage was a live technical interview focused on coding. While I did not pass the last round, the overall experience was positive and provided a good opportunity to practice both technical and communication skills.
The process was well-organized, though the final technical interview was quite challenging.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview included several technical questions related to both software and hardware fundamentals, along with problem-solving scenarios. One question focused on how to manage tasks that share the same resources. At the time, I was unsure of the best approach, but later I understood that concepts like synchronization (e.g., semaphores) could be applied.
Most of the other questions were at a fundamental level and manageable with solid preparation. Overall, candidates should focus on strengthening their basics in programming, as well as core software and hardware concepts.
