I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (DuPont, WA)
Interview
I was an out of state applicant and had to go through an hour long phone screen with the Test Engineer. The questions were technical in nature and related mostly to the lab/products I woukd be working with. Some questions were overly difficult and were not related, they served two purposes; first was to see if I would imbelish about my experience (they just wanted me to say I didn't kniw things), second was to see if I could then work out the answers as I was given information & guided along. Once I passed the phone screen, I met with; the hiring manager, lead technician, one engineer, and two junior technicians with different specialties. The manager asked detailes about my work history. The lead tech asked personality questions. The engineer asked very technical questions. And the two technicians asked operational questions about best ways to collect data, setup tests, amount of experience in certain skill sets, etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most difficult question I had was from the Test Engineer over the phone. He knew I had taken a good bit of chemistry & physics and that one of my hobbies was lesrning about the cosmos...so he asked me to generally explain the basic process of nuclear fission as it related to a star. Obviouslly nothing related to computers.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Hillsboro, OR) in Jul 2013
Interview
I had an initial phone interview with the hiring manager, in which I was asked about my research project and behavioral questions such as conflict with your adviser and colleagues etc. The hiring manager was friendly and flexible in setting up the on-site interview. On-site interview was 8 interviews, 1 presentation and lunch. Mostly behavioral questions. The interview seemed ok to me, people were in general nice. Some more friendly, some less. I was asked a lot of technical questions regarding the machines I had mentioned in my resume, by just one person.

Interview
My friend gave my CV to the hiring manager which he contacted me for a phone interview. The phone interview was short and focused on my immigration status and my goals. At the end of the interview I was asked to come for an on-site interview.
The onsite interview was very informal. I met one group leader in the morning who explained the position to me. After that I gave my research presentation followed by lunch. After lunch, I had two other interviews with two other group leaders. They didn't ask much, their questions were very simple and they expected me to do the asking. Finally I met with the area manager for 15 min.
Within 10 days, I got an email from the hiring manager informing me that they will not offer me the position.
