Interviewed May 2012 in Chandler, AZ (took a day)
Applied online on the Intel website. Went through a military placement agency. Intel is going through the employment phase for manning up their new Fab 42 being built in Chandler, AZ. They are getting as many military trained technicians as they can get their hands on. The interview lasted 45 min. Started with a packet of questions with electrical schematics, gears, heat exchangers, and basic troubleshooting. After getting an idea of your basic knowledge, the interviewer goes over a personality type test. Asked questions about working as a team, dealings with problem people, working with friends, and dealing with other issues. After that, I was told of the basic schedule and opportunities. Then I asked him questions about various things to do with the job and the atmosphere at Intel.

Interviewed May 2012 in Chandler, AZ (took 2 days)
I applied through the veteran hiring initiative. I was nervous, as I was repeatedly told that there would be a technical portion and behavioral portion to the interview. I studied for 2 weeks prior to the interview from some of the recommended topics regarding the job description. I also practiced mock interviews with people that I knew would give me constructive feedback. They both paid dividends for me, as it made the interview seem to go well.
The technical portion included a review of Ohm's Law, a detailed explanation (I stress detailed) of a system you are familiar with and have successfully troubleshooted, and to draw a flow chart for troubleshooting that system. Nothing too difficult if you are familiar with the system you outlined to the interviewer. Remember, they are not critiquing your system knowledge, but more about your process for diagnosing a problem and recommending solutions SAFELY.
The behavior portion was your standard fare. Name a time when you had an issue with a co-worker. What is your 5 year plan? Your 10 year plan? What is your biggest accomplishment? What is your biggest failure?
Just be confident and speak well and in plain english, and you should do well with this portion.

Interviewed Apr 2012 (took a day)
I got the interview set up through a job placement company and it took about 2-3 weeks to have it set up as part of a large group of job-seekers. When the interview finally took place, each one of us had to wait our individual turns to interview with one of the five recruiters who showed up to interview us for about 40 minutes each. When I received my own interview, the interviewer and I quickly went through the formalities and I told him what I did on a day-to-day basis with my current job. Then he quickly went ahead and asked me a series of 6-7 mechanical and electronical-related questions which looked as if they were taken straight off of a certification test. I didn't expect so many questions thrown at me at once, so was thrown off. It upset me because I had studied the company for weeks up until the interview and all that he asked me were test questions, which I struggled with because I was not familiar with the formulas used in the questions asked. After asking the 7th question, the interviewer asked me what time it was and I told him. He then asked me what time we started. After I replied, he said something along the lines of running late for the next interview and rushed to meet his next interviewee. Needless to say, this was an interview outside of my norm. Though it was a learning experience and the fact that it was an great opportunity to interview with such a prestigious company, I probably won't do it again if I had a choice.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Chandler, AZ (took a day)
The Interview started with meeting one on one with one of the managers of the lithography dept. Like me He was prior enlisted and served in the navy as an Electronic Technician. The interview began with a quick review of my resume where I was asked to expand on some of the information contained within. after reviewing my resume I was asked a few behavior question i.e. Describe to me the worst team you have worked for, and describe the best team I've worked for. I was also asked to describe a time where I had to switch priorities and work on unfamiliar equipment and how i felt about the situation. After the behavior questions I was asked to take a technical knowledge background check that covered basic mechanics and electronics, and basic troubleshooting techniques. over all i was given a good impression of Intel and the Culture of the company.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 1+ week)
Initially I was contacted for a panel phone interview. Mostly technical and behavioral l questions. The technical seemed to be to ensure I had a handle on electronics basics. Once the call was over I r received a call two days later to set up an in person interview. At the in-person it was again technical and behavioral l questions. The technical this time was just lots of basic math and problem solving. Two days later I received an email informing me they were going to give me a job offer. Three days later I received the call and accepted the offer. All the interviews were with an operations manager and two technicians.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 1 week)
The company emailed me to set up a time for a phone interview. After the phone interview questiions we set up an in-person interview. That interview was with two people. The questions during the phone and in-person interview were both a combination of behavioral and technical/logic/problem solving questions. A week later the company emailed to set up a time to review the job offer over the phone.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Rio Rancho, NM (took a day)
Applied online and was accepted for a phone interview. Accepted for one on one. They flew me out to location for 3 days paying for my airline ticket, rental car, hotel and gave me a credit card for incedentals. The people were remarkably casual...I almost felt out of place in my suit. One of my interviewers had an earing and was wearing a t-shirt. Nothing wrong with it, just thought it was unusual. The interview was simple and mostly consisted of "What would you do if..." safety questions. Only a few technical questions that, if you have spent any time with the equipment, was very easy.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Hillsboro, OR (took 1+ week)
Applied online and a recruiter contacted me a few days later via email. I filled out a questionnaire and was contacted by a hiring manager (again via email) 3 days later asking what a good time for a phone interview would be. I received a call the next day from the hiring manager which lasted roughly 30 minutes. A time and location was determined for the onsite interview (2 days later).
The interviewers consisted of 3 current manufacturing technicians and 1 supervisor. The first part of the interview (30 minutes) was solely based on behavior with questions like: describe a time when you a conflict with a coworker and how you resolved it, describe a time when you saw another person performing an unsafe task and how you dealt with it (and then your views on workplace safety), and define ambiguous, followed by describing a time when you received ambiguous instructions and how you worked past it. During this portion it is important to include as many details as possible (they will ask you too), include: peoples names, the setting, time of day, etc. The interviewers will allow you some time to think of particular instances, though this can lead to periods of silence.
The second part of the interview (again approximately 30 minutes) consisted of a math test. The interviewers will ask you to open a packet and solve problems verbally, outlining your thought process, and then writing down the answers of a pad of paper. The questions are meant to be straight forward and simple (a couple of the questions were poorly worded and could be construed to be much more difficult). If your answer feels incomplete to the interviewers, they will attempt to push you in the direction of the intended answer. Then they will ask you if you have any questions (it is expected that you do).
After the interview they asked me to step into the hall and after a brief time the supervisor came back out and announced that the hiring manager would be getting in contact with me. A couple of business days later I received an email from a staffing consultant (not the hiring manager) about when a good time to review the offer would be (over the phone). The conversation took place the next day and was followed by an email with a formal offer letter.

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 1 week)
I was contacted by Intel a few days after submitting my application, resume, cover letter, and other documentation. Immediately after confirming my continued interest in the position, I was asked to perform a phone interview consisting of a skills/education test (questions based on my education) as well as a behavioral test (questions based on common sense). The questions were not outlandishly difficult or complex, mostly just to verify I went to school for what I said I did. (hint: I did) An hour or two after completion of the phone interview, I was contacted by a supervisor, who offered a little more description of the job and asked about my availability. I was then asked to come in for an interview, which was 6 days later. This was a 3:1 panel interview (2 on the panel were people I had spoken on the phone with). More semi-technical questions to test problem solving strategies and the like. I was then interviewed by another supervisor and sent home. 4 days later I received a call with an offer and accepted.
