I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Intel Corporation in Oct 2012
Interview
Campus interview, mainly behavioral. They asked me about my project, if I had any disagreement with some colleague and how did I handle it, any troubleshooting experience with experimental equipment etc.

Question 1
I don't think there was any difficult question. They were just testing if my research experience matched their requirements.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Hillsboro, OR)
Interview
I first was interviewed over the phone for about an hour and a half. I was asked a variety of technical questions, little if any behavioral. I was asked to describe my Ph.D. research and asked questions about it. By the end of the phone call I was schedule for an on-site interview. Intel made the flight/hotel/car very painless and they even paid for a few extra days for me to check out the city.
The on-site interview consisted of 10 45-minute interviews scheduled back-to-back, with a break for lunch. I also delivered an hour long research presentation. The questions I asked were generally technical in nature, or about how I liked to deal with conflict and stress. They were also very upfront about the less desirable parts of the job I interviewed for.
The people I talked to were generally quite friendly and I came away with a really good impression of company culture. Everyone dressed in jeans and button up or polo shirts.

Question 1
Having just finished a Ph.D., I was asked if I really believed that I would find the work, which would be quite different, actually fulfilling.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Hudson, MA) in Oct 2012
Interview
2 phone interviews that were general. Then on site with 6-7 people all 1:1.
First interview- was shown the whole building and then was asked to operate in the lab and characterize a 2 port filter. Thought that was interesting. Only interview that didnt go well was all about computer architecture- cache organization, RAM operation etc. Was not well prepared for that one sadly. Programming interview was easy- was asked to whiteboard python code since they write everything in python now- string operations, sets, lists vs tuples, regexp etc. The next one was in detailed about IO characterization- QPI, PCIE etc. Then digital and analog design -FSM, DACs etc.
