I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Hillsboro, OR) in Nov 2011
Interview
Phone screening interview, then all-day on-site interview. I had 9 back-to-back one-to-one interviews in the company cafeteria starting at 8 am, followed by hour-long presentation. Very exhausting so condition yourself beforehand. Some technical questions about my graduate work, and some behavioral questions ("example of problem solving..."), and lots of explanations of their own work. Tough interview overall, but it was a good practice, and I was treated well (financially).

Question 1
If you could go back in time change your major, would you have chosen something different?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Chandler, AZ) in Dec 2011
Interview
I had an interview with the STTD team at Intel. It was a four round interview for the software+hardware engineer position. The team sort of involves the employee in lab work and software development jobs. they asked me questions on comp architecture, OS, software development and simple circuit analysis, C++.
Circuit analysis - With a simple resistor, ammeter and diode - was asked to check if the diode is forward biased
Comp architecture - Virtual memory, difference between RAM and ROM, advantages and disadvantages, caches, levels of caches, what is the whole point of so many levels of cache, cache coherency
OS - how do process communicate, multithreading and multiprocessing differences
C++ - pointers, references, object-oriented concepts
