Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 1+ week)
The interview consists of two sessions + offer on the second session.
Each session is about 2 hours long and normally two interviewers are following. Sometimes one is from the verification team and one from the design team.
Eventually an offer is taking place by the recruiting manager. You're given a week or two to decide.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Salary was insufficient. It consists from:
Monthly Salary, paid 1 month ahead of time - individual
RSU grant - individual
Annual bonus - individual (historical average shows ~20% addition to the monthly salary)
Employee's discounts club participation
Small annual budget for personal enrichment (books, courses, etc..)
Other Details

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Portland, OR (took a day)
The interviewer/manager called me the day before to ask if I was interested in interviewing for a HW design position. This position was an entry-level/college grad position with Intel UMG to get Intel chips into phones. Questions were mostly about hardware not overly difficult but you definitely need to know your IA and embedded systems basics. I personally got very nervous to the point that I couldn't remember some of the most rudimentary things. The guy understood that I was nervous and was very nice and gave me feedback on what he thought of my answers.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Hillsboro, OR (took a day)
Went to a tech talk by the company when they were at our career fair. A very short overview of the comany followed by a more in depth view of the presenter's group and its relationship to products. A phone interview followed that, and then a day long on-site interview.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
It was a phone interview for Back-end Hardware Engineer. I didn't have any into about the interviewer and thought he was an internal recruiter. It turned out he was the engineering manager and the interview was technical. It covered circuit design, setup and hold time, sizing, speed and power of transistors, buffer delay, wire delays, finite state machine, latch and flip-flop, blocking and non-blocking Verilog statements, low threshold and high threshold voltage libraries.

Interviewed May 2009 (took 4+ weeks)
I was contacted by a technical recruiter initially, followed by a phone interview by 3 people followed by an onsite interview (full day - 5 sessions on Hardware design)
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I was selected but felt that the company culture was not a fit - too much expected from the employee for the pay - an RCG would be a fit but not an experienced candidate with family commitments.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
Applied online and had an initial phone interview that lasted an hour. Passed the phone interview and was flown to one of the main campuses to interview with several groups. Groups included transistor level engineering, digital design, verification and tools support. On site interview had 4 interviewers, 3 technical and 1 behavioral. The technical aspects of the interview are solely technical -- you aren't expected to completely ace every question -- but there is a level of expected technical competency. Overall, interviewers were generally supportive and easy to work with.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 2+ weeks)
In telephonic interview, they asked me first to detail the projects that I mentioned in my resume. In face to face interview they asked more technical questions on my projects only. All the interviews are technical interviews only.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 3 weeks)
Submitted resume, and then went through two phone interviews before an invitation was extended to go visit the Hillsboro, Oregon site. Compensation for employee meals is sent in some form of prepaid debit card, but they sent it to the wrong address and I never got it. The people there were friendly enough, but very focused on the technical problems and not especially outgoing. The workplace consisted of the stereotypical sea of cubicles, though they are renovating and putting in less dreary looking cubicles.
