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.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Rio Rancho, NM (took a day)
It was pretty much about work behavior with some statistic question. In phone interview, she asked about 'what was the most difficult problem related my research and how could I resolve it.' In on-site interview, they asked about six sigma and standard deviation.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Chandler, AZ (took a day)
First contact with the company was at my school's career fair (Wear a suit!!!). Handed them my resume, and a few weeks later, I got an email asking me to create an online account. I finished the profile - basically retyping my resume - and a few days later got another email asking me to apply for a specific job posting for their Fab32 plant near Phoenix. Submitted that app, and about two weeks later, got an email on a Friday that they wanted to fly me out for an on-site interview in AZ the next Friday.
For the interview, I showed up at 8am with 10-15 other people from around the country. Two separate one-hour interviews with two people in each. Combination of technical and behavioral questions, so be ready for anything. KNOW STATISTICS. Some tough technical questions. As for the behavioral questions, don't answer too quickly. On tough questions, I spent maybe ten or fifteen seconds (feels like a lifetime) thinking before I said anything stupid.
One of the best tips for an interview: write a list of questions you have for the company, and keep it on the first page of your interview binder. That way, if there's time at the end of the interview and they ask you if you have questions, you can go "actually, yes." and open the binder and BAMM it's almost like you were prepared.
They said they'd get back within two weeks, and they did.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
Its a campus recruitment. They shortlisted based on our Resume. Then it consisted of one Tech round followed by a HR round. Both are equally challenging. Since I have good knowledge of IC technology, I felt the HR round slightly difficult

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took a day)
Stupid questions. Programming if else statement. Digital design even more stupid than the one before. XOR truth table. Represent a decimal number in octal format. Interviewer complaining that they hire all these people and there is nothing for them to do once they come in. People interviewing you don't like you cannot stand you and like wise you cannot stand them but you keep your mouth shut if you want the job. You guessed in my group they were all Indiands looking like cows going to a slaughter house.

No negotiation take it or leave it.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Chandler, AZ (took 1+ week)
I got the interview through a conference. Talked to a couple of engineers and they contacted me 2 days later to give me another phone interview. The phone interview was not technical; he just wanted to know what were my interests and what would be the best fit for me. After the phone interview they invited me over to the site for 6 one-to-one interviews. Four out of the six interviews were technical, and the other two were personality test + a little bit of information about the position and the organization. Next day they called me and told me I had been selected. They seem be to be very organized, intelligent, and friendly.
Interview Questions
Also now every single thing you put on your resume because they will ask you everything they can about it.
Negotiation Details
on the one-to-one interviews I asked one of the managers if they offered signing bonus and he told me not to worry about it that he would arrange something for me. They gave me a good offer with great relocation and a singing bonus that is not usually offered. If you are going to negotiate don't negotiate the base salary, or relocation. It is better to negotiate the signing bonus

I was contacted by phone for my first interview, which lasted an hour, and was primarily technically-oriented. My second and third interviews were at a conference, both were mostly behavioral. My last set of interviews was on the Chandler site, and the questions were mostly behavioral.
