I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Intel Corporation in Apr 2012
Interview
I did a total of three interviews. The process took about two months. For five weeks I did not hear anything. It was relatively easy. They used the five star method.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Hillsboro, OR) in Feb 2011
Interview
Started with a phone screen and was called onsite the following week. All day 1:1 casual interviews that seemed more like conversations. Some technical questions came up, just need to work through your thoughts and not necessarily jump to an answer.
