Interviewed Mar 2010 in Bangalore (India) (took 2+ weeks)
Had a day long 1-1 interview with about 6 people. Focus was mainly on my prior research work at University and other internship related work. Had a group presentation of my research. One round consisted of moderately tough C,C++ questions and some basic puzzle. The interview questions ad its depth largely depend on the team y- some time easy or difficult

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Hillsboro, OR (took 2 days)
Phone screening interview, then all-day on-site interview. I had 9 back-to-back one-to-one interviews in the company cafeteria starting at 8 am, followed by hour-long presentation. Very exhausting so condition yourself beforehand. Some technical questions about my graduate work, and some behavioral questions ("example of problem solving..."), and lots of explanations of their own work. Tough interview overall, but it was a good practice, and I was treated well (financially).

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

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 Jan 2012 in Santa Clara, CA (took 4+ weeks)
Phone call, 1:1 in person, and then a round of in person interviews. Very interesting, cutting edge work. The position changed in scope over time. I was led to believe that I would get the job, and then did not, due to the changed scope. The people were very nice, professional, laid back. The atmosphere was cold. Labyrinths of of drab cubicles, lots of Lenovo ThinkPads, limited facilities for food, beverages or snacks. Seemed like the building would be a tough place for a creative person to work. It was very different from a typical Silicon Valley startup (ironic, since Intel is the ultimate Silicon Valley success story).

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 1 week)
Phone interview - 20 minutes. On site interview - 5 hours. Generally a very positive and interesting interview. I was asked a bunch of harmless questions that seemingly had no answer - may have been geared to see how you think. These were intermingled with random unrelated technical questions. One or two of the interviewers had some attitude - but I did not react to it.
