Interview
Applied through OCR, had a 2 on 1 interview in an oncampus interview suite. Questions consisted of walking through the three financial statements and why our company
Interview Questions
The interview was very easy, the only hard thing is the effect of depreciation on all three financial statements. They wanted to genuinely have a conversation about why Intel and made it more personal than just saying you liked tech, Knowing any of their new products and talking about how it is cool and new is something that can help set you apart from other candidates. Other than that, this is a standard behavioral heavy interview for a corporate finance position with a large fortune 100 company

Interview
Submitted resume thru OCR. Got invited to first round, consisted of two back to back interviews. One Associate and one Hiring Manager. They were both very cold and unfriendly. It was earlier in the morning (8:30am, not that bad...) and they appeared groggy. Very unprofessional
Interview Questions
He asked me a case question for a corporate finance summer internship...totally unexpected. I was very unprepared. Case about a pen company and how their costs were rising. Besides that, there were general behavioral questions. He read off a damn script. 1) How did you approach a very difficult or challenging task? 2) Give me a time where someone on your team didnt pull their weight, how did you go about accomplishing the goal? 3) Give me a time where you butt heads with your supervisor, what was the outcome?

Interview
I had two rounds of phone interviews, which is a typical most have an in person interview as well. The first one was a personality interview asking me about my background and for specific examples for when i showed leadership and adversary. The second interview was more technical, asked how i would approach entering a new product into the market that i was concerned would cannibalize one of my existing products.
Interview Questions
The most difficult question i had was about entering a new silicon product into the market.. They wanted a detailed plan on when you would want to enter and how you would market the new product. The interviewer would then troubleshoot your plan asking how you would handle different scenarios. The first one they asked was about manufacturing, how would you transition you fabs from the old product to the next. The other big question the asked was about cannibalization, how would you feel about entering a nw product into the market that would cannibalize one of you existing products.

Two back to back interviews about twenty minutes each. Asked some accounting questions and each person talked about their backgrounds for a bit. They also asked a few basic fit questions of the "tell me about a time you..." variety.

I do not remember the specific questions. It's been a few years. I think they were about P&L statements or some questions about the income statement.
