I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Chandler, AZ) in Jun 2011
Interview
I initially applied online and I made sure my resume was personalized for the opening to increase my chances. The next day I received an email to complete additional employment application forms for the background check. Four hours after completing the online form, I received an email from the hiring manager assistant to schedule for an interview. Interview was scheduled on the following third week. The interview structure email was sent to me after two weeks with interviewers names and times. I also researched the interviewers on LinkedIn.com to find out about their professional background.
I took time to research the company/department, what current projects they were working on currently and what they had accomplished in the past. I also prepared a list of questions I had for them. The day of the interview I arrived at their large and nice campus and someone escorted me to the interview offices.
Interviews went very smooth, all asked behavioral questions to see if you are a good fit in their team. I prepared myself for such behavioral question using past experiences from school projects/internships. I also showed them that I researched the company and I knew alot about what they do. They were impressed how much i knew about the company and I also asked them about what is a typical day like (very important). After 4 interviews, I was exhausted, they took me out to a nice restaurant for lunch (that says alot about a company). The hiring manager said they were still interviewing and I would hear back from them in two weeks. Overall interview was smooth if you are prepared and ask the right question. I was very impressed about Intel and how well they treat their employees, its definitely a GPTW.
Two weeks as promised the hiring manager called and said they thought I did well and wanted to bring me on board and that I would be hearing from the recruiter about salary and start date. I got a call the next day from recruiter, to discuss offer and start date. After I accepted the offer, the BI was initiated. Overall great experience.

The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Intel Corporation in May 2011
Interview
My application process began with a few managers coming to my university to give a presentation about the company. I left my resume with them and a week later i got an email that they would like to conduct a phone interview with me. The entire process consisted of a phone interview, progamming assignment, and finally an in person interview.
Phone Interview:
My reviewer called me up and gave me a variety of questions ranging from standard software topics like data structures; hardware topics, like how an interrupt works; and standard cs math like converting to hex etc..
Programming assignment
After i completed the interview, I got a call back from another manager, with a relatively simple programming assignment that i was to complete by the next day. The assignment should only take a couple hours at most.
In person:
finally, a couple weeks later I was flown out to the company where i had 4 1 hour interviews, with a lunch break half way through. The interviews each had a specific theme, software, hardware, testing and design, and behavioral. None of the tests were particularly challenging, but as always, they are much harder on the spot. Most of the tester's made an effort to not react to any of the answers given during the interview, so it's hard to tell how successful you were until its over.
The facilities were very nice, aside from workstations being small cubicles. During lunch while talking with the managers, i got the sense that there was a genuinely good work culture at the company, and that Intel was a very family friendly company, despite some of the criticism I had heard about on other websites.
