The interview process consisted of an on-campus technical talk with recruiters, followed by a dinner with some of the current REP members. A few weeks later, I was invited out for an on-site interview, followed by a job offer. Met an interviewer at a campus recruiting process. The Rotation Engineer Program is an 18 month long program designed to develop technical leadership within the company. Applications are not accepted, only invitations are given. I happened to attend a technical talk given by the recruiters, and stayed afterwards. I struck up a conversation with the recruiter for the REP, mentioning that I was interested. He viewed my resumé, and told me there was mutual interest. That was it for the technical talk. I got a phone call later that day, from the recruiter. I was invited out to a dinner with other current REP members, as a meet and greet. The dinner was pretty casual, although the recruiters are identifying whether you have enough social skills to work well with others. I didn't do a great job cracking jokes or having a good time, but I wasn't completely silent. I asked a lot of questions about the program, especially some personal questions. I believe this showed genuine seriousness about applying. This was it for the on-campus interview. A few weeks later, received a phone call an offer to be flown out for an on-site interview. On-site, I was paired with a current REP member to be my buddy. The point was to allow me more access to someone with a real perspective of the REP program. The first night consisted of a casual dinner, preceded by a social group activity. The main point is to loosen the candidates up, have them feel comfortable. However, I'm sure the interview process already started at that point. Make sure to feel at home, and comfortable with the people around you. The Intel people are extremely friendly. The second day of the on-site interview consisted of a morning to mid-afternoon interview with hiring managers and HR personnel. There weren't so many formal questions, but each hiring manager is different. I had a couple managers discuss his projects in a technical fashion. I believe he wanted to see how I could interact with him on a technical level. Make sure to give feedback on how you understand things, and don't be afraid to ask questions and offer ideas/comments. Sometimes I'd get thrown relatively simple technical questions, such as "What ways do you think you could accomplish XX?" Lunch was held in a meeting room. The last talk of the day covered the compensation at Intel. At this point, the interview process seemed to loosen up. There was one more social event at night, and the next day we were flown back home. Overall, quick and simple process. Great interview experience. Interviewers are friendly and helpful.

First interview with HR. Second interview with an engineer for around an hour (mostly technical questions). Generally, there is supposed to be a third round of interviews on-campus if I passed the second round, but I could not proceed forward with the rest of the interviews due to COVID.
