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.
Interview questions [1]
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 through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Portland, OR) in Jan 2012
Interview
15-min on-campus interview, phone interview, then multiple 1:1 interview on site. No deep technical questions was asked. Very minimal HR questions as all interviewers were engineers. It seems they were mainly concern about your attitude and fits with the team. Given my very relevant background, they were sure I could do the job anyway.
