Recruiter contacted me and assisted me in every step of the process. She provided clear information on job, location, compensation, and benefits. The recruiter did the initial phone interview to see if the job and I were a match. I was flown in for a days worth of 1:1 interviews including a group panel. The questions were fair. One week later I was given a job offer including a sign on bonus and relocation package. Over the next week I negotiated with my previous employer and Intel. My previous employer countered the Intel offer, Intel countered back with a modification to the bonus and relocation package. Upon my acceptance of the Intel offer. I had 3 days to get a drug test and accept the request for a background check. Two weeks later I was confirmed for employment.

An HR specialist contacted me right after I applied online. He sent specific list of questions related to product marketing, solution engineering, project scope, size etc. Next the group director reached out by email and scheduled 1 hour phone interview with 2 experienced architects. It was 100% technical. Big part of the interview was explaining design, architecture and solution strategy within infrastructure of prior project experience. Last 10 minutes I was asked to define some well known terms - some text book questions.
