Technical Behavioral
Applied while still part of Intel. About 2 months after applying, a recruiter reached out. Had an initial screening call, followed by a phone interview with several team members. The phone interview was mostly standard technical questions. A week later, I was invited for an in-person interview to see the facility and answer some more behavioral and technical questions. The overall experience was great.

Technical Coding
Got an email from HR recruiter asking basic networking questions, which was unusual since they usually call first to discuss the job. The questions were simple. I replied and a few days later got an email saying the hiring manager would contact me for a technical interview. I never got that call or email. Really unprofessional, I wouldn't recommend this company.
