Editor's note: Intel (Intel) was founded in 1968 and is the world's largest chip manufacturer. The Intel Research Center has gathered countless elites around the world. A group of young people come here with their dreams, in the past, we talked too much about intel technology and the market. This time, we will share more with you the successful management system and corporate culture of intel, this article describes the difficult process of applying for an Intel testing engineer. Some texts in this article are owned by the original author. The materials are collected from the network and do not represent the point of view on this site.
The most concise language of grov, the soul of Intel culture, can reveal the unique idea of a unique enterprise: it can survive only if you are paranoid. Paranoid invention, paranoid operation, and paranoid success-this is paranoid.
What is paranoia?
Intel has always been the focus of attention for more than a decade. The birth of each generation of high-performance processors is no inferior to that of Hollywood movies, the impact level is not the impact scope of the US weekly movie rankings, but the world. The Director of this great show is the soul figures of Intel in different periods: Moore, grouve, and berret.
What we see is a company that has almost no rivals in the chip market. It should not be so cautious and operate, and it should not be as nervous as a startup company. At least it should be like a successful company. The employee's face shows an elegant and soothing rhythm, and the leader begins to show the Emperor's anger. However, Intel has always been diligent and pragmatic, defending against arrogance and rashness, operating hard, and always preparing to fight with no deterrent competitors.
According to the Chinese logic, chip technology is the only one, and there is no need to advertise. China Telecom advertises advertisements to indicate that they still have a sense of modern operation, which is not the need of the market. Intel has paid 60% RMB for all ads labeled "intelinside", which seems to many people that there is no more money to spend.
It is very natural to do this for Intel. The simplest language of grov, the soul of Intel culture, is the best way to reveal the unique idea of a unique enterprise: it can only survive if it is paranoid. Paranoid invention, paranoid operation, and paranoid success-this is paranoid.
The first level of courage! Face Intel's Human Resources Department JJ with ease
Early on, I was told that intel was about to hold a job fair. I arrived at Holiday Inn early that day. there were already many people who saw ggjj working on several intel workers, the scenes are still orderly. Enter the hall in sequence and sit in a row of chairs. Then there are n tables next to the first round of interviews. About 10 people are called for an interview. I first read their promotional materials and wrote down the positions I applied for on my resume. I simply thought about a few questions that may be asked. I can see that most of them are ggjj, it seems like they are all cool, and the feeling between them is subtle. It's my turn, and my heartbeat is a little accelerated. It's all about listening and speaking English. the tense atmosphere and noisy sound in the air make me feel uneasy, what will my fate look like in the first round ......
MM told me to go over and tell me the table. I took a deep breath, stood in front of the interviewer, and said hello to her in English. A very common JJ, about 30 years old, sat down and looked at my resume for 30 seconds, I said to myself that you are applying for a test engineer (looking at my resume without looking at me). Then I raised my head and told me to give me a brief introduction to myself. Then I said something, and she nodded, smile ).
She said, "Why did you tell me why we want to accept you ?", This question is listed in my preparation questions, and I answered several reasons calmly. One of them is funny. I said that I have an advantage in working in a foreign company, she smiled and asked me, "Do you think you can use English? ", I am so sweaty, so I have to say that I have been learning and training all the time ...... After JJ finished, he wrote a score and code on my resume with a pencil. Then he asked me to find the secretary. When she received the score from her resume, she handed her resume to another Gg and asked him to take me to room A for the next round of interview. I passed the first level!
Next, I was arranged to wait in a room. A mm called me into Room A, and there was only one empty position in it. I saw the table marked with "te ", it's him. Looking at the back of the table, a foreigner sat there, smiling at me far away ...... I feel a lot relaxed.
I also smiled and said hello to him. He politely asked me to sit down and said, please allow him a few minutes to look at my resume. I smiled and nodded and began to look at this large proportion of foreigners, he is about 40 years old, not like a white man, a little like India, Malaysia, Egypt, and the Middle East. He is wide and fat, and he is wearing an exaggerated ring on his right hand, it was embedded with a big green stone, and my resume was carefully scanned with two eyes hiding behind the glasses.
A "wonderful" process, depending on the interviewer's torture
"OK", he looked up and said, "I will ask you some questions next ". Then I began to ask, mainly about my work, such as how many projects you have made, whether there were mistakes, how to find problems with products, and how to make up for them; do you have any opinions different from your boss? How do you solve the problem? What is the architecture of the work system? Tell us about the cases with Team partners? What advantages do you think intel ...... This question should be emphasized. In fact, the question is similar to that asked by the first round of human resources. I summarized the question later while waiting for the interview. The result is summarized into four, so I told him at the end.
There are four reasons why Intel thinks it is worthwhile to hire me, and then I will start with first, second ...... One by one, this foreigner wrote down the key points after I answered the question. After talking about the three, I suddenly forgot what I said. This is not a terrible thing ...... After a few seconds, I can't remember it. In this case, I want to remember what I just got, instead of coming up with a new one, the mind is broken! I had to smile sorry, saying that I forgot when I thought about it! Then I saw this cute foreigner draw a question mark after the fourth point on the paper ......
I am sorry for leaving the fourth point. I don't know if I have a chance to make up for it. After I finish, I thought, maybe it's still a chance or a turning point. If this foreigner is very interested in the fourth point, then he will be interested in me and give me another chance, at least give him a deep impression. In this way, I thought about Ah Q and regretted that he was not doing well. I blame myself for being not flexible enough. At that time, I should tell him that I will remember to tell him the next time, isn't that a very creative end.
After I said that, the foreigner said that it was okay. We had a good time talking about it today. Then, I looked at the table and thought it was over. I looked up and told me, "Can we just talk about it here? There are still many people ." We shook hands and said goodbye ...... When I came out, I was relaxed. At this time, I didn't think about what the results would be like. I just lost my mind after I finished one thing. It wasn't so bad. The result was decided by God.
I am not the first time dealing with foreigners, but I am very impressed by this foreigner's feeling that he has a kind look like a priest, it also gives people the feeling that they are very open and easy to communicate. They really like the wonderful English that he uses with his thick lips and big tongue (just like the black man in the movie waving two big hands to speak, you know ).
"Master, go to Intel !" -Prepare for the second round of interview
The on-site interview ended. After the interview, MM gave me a form, which is a legendary "work Application Form" on the Internet ". Here, I entered the application form without any special implication, but they only managed the procedures and basic databases, I hope someone else will tell you the person who entered this form will be admitted. You need to be calm and calm like me. After filling out the form, submit it to mm and tell me to wait for a notification within one month. Then I will see you again. Passing through the hall is already crowded ...... Walking out of the Holiday Inn, the sun is shining and the walking is accompanied by a tense aftertaste. Intel, the world-renowned "beauty", how much have you gotten closer and learned from each other on this bright morning in Chengdu?
Two days later, I received a call from Chengdu with a lot of phone numbers. Once I heard it, it was intel. This lady's words were full of busyness and quickly introduced herself, then I asked me to send my resume to another mailbox, and I quickly got down. She left me with a rush and a bad voice. I heard that they were all very busy. Maybe I was notified of 9,527th, So I sympathized with her duck voice. This phone call once again aroused my hope. Although I had heard from my colleagues about intel in the middle of the call, others could see you and asked you to send your resume.
The next day I sent my resume, I received a call from Intel. This time I changed to mm. I was in the same hurry and told me to prepare for the next day's phone interview at half past nine, if you have any questions, please contact her. Her extension number, name ...... Goodbye! This phone call proves Intel's Labor mm busy. It also shows that they are very efficient in speaking and handling affairs, and there is no nonsense. It is much better than me.
After hanging up the phone, I got stuck for several seconds. It seems that they are really interested in small, because of the "fourth point of regret? Hey, when the beauty shows you no promise or rejection, you are the most crazy! I was excited for a while, and the reality was immediately in front of me. The telephone interview was a very difficult process for both parties. The key was to use English, when I use facetoface, I have to write and draw pictures to achieve the purpose of communication. How can I make a gap when I sign a wire?
I started preparing to list the questions that may be asked again, then I practiced and answered them in English, and wrote out the important words that I could think ...... So I went crazy for a long time. At, I received a call from mm, saying that you are in Chengdu now. I said yes, she said, that's great. Just come to our company tomorrow, or half past nine, and tell me where to go ...... She told me to go to work tomorrow. I said that I still have to apply for work. Please give me 10 minutes to reply to you. she suddenly said very urgently, no, I'm off duty. Can I do it in five minutes ?? I had to call it three minutes later and said I got it done ...... Just now, my crazy heart suddenly became much more steadfast. I was more confident in face-to-face interviews.
At home at night, I tried again, and then prepared for the image. What I thought was that at work, others thought it was inappropriate and there was nothing to do with food for other reasons. The next day, I got up early in the morning and started like a human model dog. I don't know how to feel nervous at this time, but the digestive system has a great sense of urgency. I regret that I didn't solve it at home, as a result, I searched for the toilet while I was walking, but the time was too short. The wise man may have a loss. Here, I am dead! It's hard to use internal power to make the best of Dantian ...... What's more angry is that the chain is dropped at the crucial moment. There is no taxi at this time on the Yangxi line! When I ran to the crossroads, I could see an empty car. The Arrow rushed up, master, to intel!
Can I go through a tense second interview?
When I arrived at the export processing zone, I received a call from mm yesterday and asked me where I was. Hey, it's coming soon. The car drove to the door of the company and checked in with the security guard. The security guard called this mm and no one answered it. I was in a hurry! It's just three minutes away. No one answered the call a few times. I also called the call on my cell phone. No one answered the call. Wait for a moment for a message in English, I think there is no BT for intel to test whether I have understood this sentence, and then I left a comment with her after "beep ......
If this is the case, celebrate yourself carefully. After a while, the security guard got connected and heard mm shouting to let him in ...... When I ran it, I started to run. When I heard the sound of the security guard behind me, "I can't run, I can only go fast." Are there such depressing people ??? There are several hundred meters from the door to the office area. I only have to go ".
On the way, the interviewer called and first introduced himself. Then, he asked me if I had arrived. How should I go to the room, after entering the office door, I saw the guidance of the interview room. After Entering the aisle, I saw the long-overdue toilet and rushed in first, @ # $ % & ^ % * % ^ * ^ @ % ^ (. The second interview room was opened, with a young and handsome interviewer XX sitting inside. I knocked at the door politely, introduced myself, shook hands, sat down ...... The handsome guy on the other side may be the key person who decides my career path. I looked at it in my mind and started my third round of Intel interview.
We talked directly in Mandarin, and many topics were similar to those discussed by foreigners. Then there were a lot of things that were obviously a routine, and I asked them to answer them directly. I will not talk about the specific questions, I feel very disrespectful to others. In fact, the network is everywhere. I don't want the column to find the straight-through key or something from these questions at all. Just answer them in my own heart, however, you may have never seriously thought about some issues, but you may be confused.
I started to answer very badly. The interviewer directly said that he did not know what I was talking about, and pointed out that he was not on the road. It seems much better later. It seems more frank and relaxed, as if they are familiar with each other. I also put the poor performance on a tight schedule. Finally, he asked me to ask him questions in English. I asked three questions. Most of the time, he answered me in English. I inserted one or two sentences from it. He gave me a detailed explanation of my most important questions in Mandarin.
After shaking hands and saying goodbye, I took a look at the time and talked about it for more than an hour. Although today's performance is not very good, it is less difficult than I imagined, still a face of unknown, this intel, she looked at me? On the way out of the company, I reported "Ping An" to LP, But I didn't break down because of running in intel. Do you know why you cannot run? Not only can't run, but the stair must also hold the railing! The principle is the same, for fear that you will fall.
Is this an Intel or an Intel culture ?? Blow by friends. It seems that they have such a guiding ideology: security first, service second, and quality third (the last two are unclear ), i'm afraid that only companies like intel dare to shout out such a "inverse" slogan. After nearly two decades of cooking, I only heard that "quality is the first.
Here, my intel interview experience has come to an end, and I am still waiting for the results. Maybe this experience is over, and there may be another round of interviews waiting for me. I just want to tell Intel's HR mm that you may wish to make harassing calls when you are busy, I like to hear your duck-like voice tell me: "Howard Liu, you have been accepted by intel ".
"Make the worst plan for everything", the last round of hard work
On the second day of the National Day holiday, that is, October 9, we had a power outage in the park, and our company took a day off. We just got up in the morning and received a call from Intel human mm, ask me to go to their company for an interview the next day at three o'clock P.M.
The holiday was relaxed that day, just as in middle school, when there was a power outage in the evening, you didn't need to study it. This phone call aroused a lot of waves in my heart. When I just put down my phone and my mind was still very hot, I thought, "cool", would this be a matter of Human Resources talking to me about offer. This thought was so sudden and I was ridiculed by myself. Based on Multiple struggles, isn't it that simple ?? I warn myself. Tossing people is what companies are happy to do today. Today, have you done anything about it?
I was very busy the next morning because I had no time to prepare for the afternoon interview because I had finished the last project before. And at this time the heart is a little skin, a little troops to block, water to soil flooding posture. At two o'clock, I followed my head and set off. I arrived at their company 10 minutes in advance, called mm, and told me to go to the first interview room, the interviewer will be there soon. I browsed Intel's corporate culture back and forth during the interview, and remembered that "today" is the National Day of the "Republic of China" and "double 10 days". It should be a good day to come ......
After waiting for about three or four minutes, a middle-aged man holding his notebook came to the door and asked without any emotion: "You are Howard Liu ?", "Yes," I said. The two sat down silently. I had a hunch that today's visitors are not good, and my heart muttered. What is a word hidden in the unfathomable eyes ?? Cold. After he completed his notebook and the interview started, he asked me a question in English. Based on my answers, he asked me questions and answered them one by one.
I cannot explain some questions in one or two English sentences. I am not sure about my English skills. I don't want to worry about the problem, but I want to finish it, here we should know how bad my performance is. In addition, speaking English with a compatriot is not like speaking English with a foreigner. when speaking with a foreigner, you will repeatedly think about how to express your meaning through multiple channels in English. When talking with a compatriot, if you encounter a language nail, will you immediately bypass it ?? It's easy to express it in Chinese. In this way, I can answer some questions with English mixed with Chinese (or simply Chinese mixed with English.
The scene is embarrassing, the atmosphere is dignified, and my mood is depressing. I suspect this interviewer is also uncomfortable ...... Later, the atmosphere relaxed, and I finally opened up talking to him. It was my turn to ask questions. I was still the old one, and his answers were exactly the same, I decided they were trained in a unified manner. I talked about the basic barriers to communication, and talked about the problem itself. Several Problems are rather difficult. I have almost never seen any "arrays ". What's more, there's a problem. I 've been in silence for a long time and let me skip it ......
At that moment, I really hate intel for putting the floor too solid to drill down ...... At the risk of adverse effects, I am daring to say that this interviewer is really like a "cold noodle killer". I am not successful in the interview today, this is largely because of the "cold" personality of the interviewer. Maybe this is a test of my intention. If so, I will identify it.
I never expected such a case because the interviewer who was very open and friendly gave me an illusion, I abandoned the belief that "Everything is the worst. In a word, this is still the result of not being mature enough. The world is sinister, comrades! Not to mention what the interviewer is doing, at least he still lacks the ability to deal with people of different personalities, and he has made a big mistake! Some people will be able to get up and talk and laugh when they get down with a single stick. Some people will be bored when they get down with a single stick. We need setbacks and failures, so that we will not be bored any more, so that we can adapt quickly and face them bravely.
I firmly believe that intel is the most suitable person for intel, not a fairy. If you are familiar with it, you have the opportunity to give it a try and write a sunny intel interview experience, to more people, I will smile at "Gansu Jiuquan.
Also: let us know the good news. Intel has already given me an offer letter!
What kind of people does intel need? Look at the story in the "Grid"
Who Does Intel need? This is what many candidates want to know.
In Intel (Beijing) Technology Development Co., Ltd., the Office is separated by wooden boards. Cloud Dayao, manager of the human resources department of Intel Corporation in China, said: at Intel, the chairman and managers do not have their own offices, and they all work in the lattice room like ordinary employees. In this open office environment, employees and managers are encouraged to communicate and collaborate at work. People who need to be open to an open environment refer to employees who work for Intel who must first be united and cooperative.
Encouraging open and fair competition among employees is another hidden layer of deep understanding in the open office environment. If you are a good person, everyone is the best. Perhaps it is based on this spirit that at Intel, if ordinary employees disagree with a supervisor's plan, they should put forward different opinions in person. If there are good suggestions, they should remain silent, if the supervisor's plan encounters problems during implementation, the employees also have unshirkable responsibilities.
"Customer" first
The customer quoted here because Intel's customers also include employees of the company. The cloud manager said: we are the human resources department, so our customers are Intel employees, and we serve every employee. This kind of service concept is embodied in Intel's recruitment work. The cloud manager said that whenever there is a position in intel that requires recruitment, we should first publish recruitment information within the company to give our employees a development opportunity. Then, we will publish recruitment information to the society through advertisements and the Internet. Intel will occasionally participate in job fairs in colleges and universities.
Pay attention to the actual level
Intel does not focus on the age, gender, and race of candidates. Intel focuses on the strength of candidates. The cloud manager said.
Intel stipulates that candidates must have good listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, regardless of whether they have obtained CET4 or cet6 certificates during school hours, what they value is the ability of candidates to actually use English. This is because English is often used in office, meetings, training, and other occasions. During recruitment, the company will set different requirements for English proficiency based on the nature and position of the job to be hired. The higher the job, the higher the requirement for English proficiency. It can be said that the actual competence of the candidate is more convincing than the certificate obtained.
The requirements for the qualifications and majors of candidates vary depending on the positions they apply for and their work. For example, if you are engaged in research and development of speech technology at Intel, you must have a Master's degree or above. If you are engaged in general software development, you must have a bachelor's degree or above. Professional counterparts are an important requirement of Intel for candidates. Intel is specialized in computer, automation, electrical engineering, microelectronics, and applied mathematics.
When Intel is recruiting fresh graduates, the performance of students in academic performance, social practice, and other aspects will become a reference factor. If you want to become an official member of Intel, the candidates will also undergo a series of application procedures such as interviews and written examinations. Intel does not have a fixed recruitment model. The positions you apply for vary with the nature of your job, and the exam content varies. However, if you are a strong school, you do not have to worry about anything.
Doing the right thing
The cloud manager said that it is important to achieve the following three aspects in Intel's work.
The first is the ability to learn new things. The computer field changes rapidly and develops rapidly. Only when an employee with the potential to continue learning can he make continuous progress at work can he create more value.
Second, you must have confidence in yourself and have different opinions.
The third point is doing the right thing, less doing the thing right. The cloud manager explained: before doing one thing, you should first ask whether or not to do it, do what you should do, and find a good way to do it. This doing the right thing. Doing the thing right is to do things well without asking whether it should be done. Doing well is the most basic requirement for employees, but it is useless to do anything that shouldn't be done without leaving any elites who love intel! View intel recruitment and interview
Scientific interview View
Intel primarily performs interviews on job seekers. The applicant's evaluation is mainly to evaluate the quality of the position to be applied. Intel has a set of standards for each position during recruitment. The skills of these positions are based on Intel's long-term practices and the results of international human resources consultancy research on talent quality. Intel has a quality system shared by the world. Managers can go online to check the quality standards of the positions to be recruited based on these standards and the specific situations.
Intel has four employees in each recruitment group. They jointly evaluate the candidates through interviews. They do not have to pass the interview only. Each job requires different conditions. For example, if a job location determines 10 standards based on the relevant nature, five important standards may be met. In addition, during the interview, they will also see whether these candidates can adapt to Intel's six values, or how far they are from these six values. (The six values of Intel are explained in detail in the following article .) The speed is not the most important indicator. The time taken by Intel to recruit an employee varies. The recruitment of students can be decided within one week, and senior employees can make a decision within two months. Generally, you can select a location on average within 6 weeks. However, the recruitment speed is not the main criterion for measuring recruitment. The recruitment quality is the most important evaluation. Intel conducts a survey on the overall usage of new employees every year and gives them an overall rating to determine the quality of recruitment.
Informal recruitment
Intel searches for talent through headhunting, paper media ads, and talent websites. Intel needs more people with experience in sales and marketing, and has recruited many graduates in research and development. The company has also set up an employee recommendation award. If an employee can recommend an employee to the company and is hired by the company, the company will give the employee a certain material reward. The employee recommendation award is an effective method in the IT industry. Intel has a chance to repeat employees who leave the company, and encourages them to return to the company's outstanding employees.
Almost every employee leaves intel for a resignation interview, so the company can help intel look at itself. Sometimes the human resources department will check whether the resigned employee is interested in other jobs, and may change jobs for the employee to retain the employee. However, the company may not meet all the requirements of its employees.
