Interviewed Mar 2012 (took 2 days)
It was bascially two part interview for me one was a 1:1 with the team manager it was bascially about my studies , Internship, Projects and skills which lasted for about 45 Mins.
Then they had a technical round with two members of the team. It was one of the most diverse interview i have ever faced . it Included : -
1. Presentation of 3 projects done during my internship and a barrage of questions during the same
2. giving output of a C,Perl and some java snippets. Easy but confusing.
3. Was asked question related to C,C++,Javav, Perl, PHP, C# and SQL
The two guys were very friendly and cheerful due to which the interview went well. I was informed the next day by manager that he was interested in me but did not confirm finally a offer was made 25 days later . I accepted the same and joined a month later.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Folsom, CA (took 2 days)
The interviews for the Nand group are very simple, based on logic design device physics and simple circuit questions. Its a cake walk to clear the same. People are amiable, however the technical experience that you get out of this job is very little compared to working in GPU, CPU teams.

Interviewed May 2011 in Folsom, CA (took 2 days)
I submitted my resume to Intel employees who'd come to collect resumes and talk about Intel. They were from the graphics group and wanted software/hardware engineers to work on Intel's integrated chips.
I got a mail saying they were interested in my profile and asked for my availability for a phone screen.
The phone screen tested:
i) My C skills: String manipulation, Pointers
ii) Graphics knowledge: The 3D pipeline, briefly describing each of the stages, depth/alpha testing, OpenGL vs DirectX (some very trivial stuff, if you've taken a graphics course)
iii) Debugging: Visual Studio experience, debugging skills (straight-forward and not expecting much detail).
I was selected for the on-site, and there, I had 5 1:1 interviews with several managers.
The questions were related to:
i) C, C++ : Lots of questions regarding pointer manipulation, type casting, const usage in member functions of classes, string manipulation
ii) Image processing : I was asked to rotate an image by 90 degrees
iii) Graphics: Again, 3D pipeline, general questions about pixel shaders, why they're needed, depth/alpha testing, finding intersection of lines/rectangles, OpenGL vs DirectX (testing if i knew anything about it).
iv) Software Engineering: Tried to ask me about design patterns via a question, but I really didn't know enough about it.

Negotiation Details
The pay is pretty decent, considering it was not the Bay area, but a lot lesser than normal software companies.
They gave me a joining bonus on negotiation and I accepted.

Interviewed Mar 2012 (took 2 weeks)
The interview was longer than an hour, and was very detailed on each topic. I had only brushed thru most topics, but regret not getting enough time to review fundamentals. If you are through with computer architecture,C and Digital logic design, it shudnt be very hard to crack.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Chandler, AZ (took a day)
I was interviewed in February of 2004 for a position @ Intel in Chandler, Az. I was phone screened initially and then flown out for the formal interview process which consisted of 5 1:1 sessions with the teams design engineers. Since I was coming from college directly the questions consisted mostly of text book Q&A, situational questioning, and inquiries into my internships. I don't remember anything being too difficult and everyone was quite friendly. I've "heard horror stories" about how other companies perform their interviews but in my experience and with the 30+ interviews I've performed myself since I've been at Intel, this was nothing like those.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I actually did not negotiate at all. In 2004 the job market was tough, companies had their pick of the litter, and this was the best offer I was given so I didn't see the need to mess around. Only other offer I had was for a company located about 30 miles outside Boston (MUCH higher living expenses) for less pay. This was kind of a no brainer for me.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.
