I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Rio Rancho, NM) in Oct 2020
Interview
A current employee referred my resume in the Intel system. 2 days later, I got an email from a hiring manager, who wanted to schedule a phone interview with me. The phone interview was scheduled for that same week. After the phone interview, he went ahead to schedule an onsite/virtual interview for the same day. I was interviewed by a total of 6 people. A week later, a Talent Advisor contacted me about an offer. I received a formal offer letter 2 days after.
