I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Intel Corporation in May 2011
Interview
The interview comprises of a telephonic round and an on-site interview. Both had questioned related programming. Intel heavily relies on Microsoft technologies, so knowing them is a plus.
Phone interview comprised of few verbal technical questions and then i was asked to code a small program. The time allotted was 15 min. The code was judged on thought process, clarity of concepts and how easy it was to understand for a fellow developer.
Onsite interview comprised of 7-8 rounds with a lunch break. It went from 8 am to 5 pm. There was one behavioral round, two problem solving rounds and all others were technical coding rounds.
Though the interview process defer from team to team, there is no set pattern. i have seen people get jobs based on 1 hour onsite interview.
