Interview Details –
I cam to know about the position of Senior process Engineer at Intel Corporation via University Recruiting. I send my resume and cover letter to the recruiter and I got an email for telephonic interview after three weeks from the hiring manager. Telephonic interview was about company's job description and my Ph.D. research work. I was successful ib convincing the hiring manager and I got the offer for the site interview. I was told that it will the day long interview with one hour presentation of my research work.
On site interview started at 9;30 AM in the morning with interviewers changing every 30 minutes. These were behavioural as well as technical questions. During lunch time, we grabbed food from cafetaria and we attended company's seminar. We were also given fab's window tour after my research presentation to the prospective hiring group. The final interview was taken by the Area Manager and we left at 4:30 PM.
After two weeks, I got the offer letter. However, due to my Ph.D. graduation and work authorization issues. I joined after 5 months of receiving the letter.
Interview Question – Most of the questions were behavioural and ability to perform in stressful work environment with unpredictable and long working hours. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation as the salary offered was quite impressive for the fresh PhD graduate.

Interview Details – I submitted an application during on campus visit. One week later I received an email requesting a phone interview. One on one phone interview was rather casual. I was asked about my biggest challenge in graduate school. I was not quizzed directly about topics and concepts in my area of study. At the end of the phone interview, I was asked for an on site visit. The on site visit consisted of four one on one interviews, and 45 minute presentation on my part, and lunch with Intel employees. The questions that came up most often were: how well do you work with others in a team, and describe your trouble shooting approach to malfunctioning equipment.
Interview Question – Several hypothetical scenarios were given to my test problem solving approach. For example, how would I trouble shoot a malfunctioning tool. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – The offer was not negotiable.

Interview Details –
My resume was pulled from Intel's database and I was initially screened via phone by my to-be manager. First interview was very simple; covered demographic information, some of my MS research and projects, and one or two questions about how the tools we use work (materials characterization position).
Had a second phone interview a week later with another group member who will most likely be training me. This covered some of my work again, but focused more on what the position will be like and our group's role in the overall process. This almost seemed like an informative phone call.
About a week later I was contacted to schedule an on-site interview, which happened the next week (2 weeks after the second phone interview). The folks at Intel were aware that I was taking time out of my vacation to interview, so they booked me a quick trip (in Sunday, out Monday evening). Everything was completely covered, and I think I actually made money with the per diem.
The interviews were 6 30 minute meetings with the individual group members, including my several managers, our group leader, and one of the newer guys. No really difficult technical questions; mostly just asking about my research and some basic imaging questions. Ate lunch with them afterwards and then got a quick tour of the facility before heading to the airport.
Received my offer within a week of the on-site interview (my hiring manager was very prompt, which is definitely not the norm).
Interview Question – There was no real difficult question. This interview seemed a bit odd as it was more of a 'get to know me' conversation than a formal interview. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – As a MS student straight out of grad school I don't have any negotiating leeway. The offer was about what I was expecting and definitely within the average for my experience/degrees.

Interview Details –
Gave resume to a recruiter at a university job fair. A couple of weeks later got a phone call asking basic questions about availability and interest in the position. They flew me out and paid for accommodations and food for 3 day trip.
Interview started at ~9am and a couple of 1 on 1 personal interviews with managers. They discussed the position, requirements, and company ideals/motto/goal/functionings. Next came a 1 hr presentation on my university work which was attended by a small group which then took me out to lunch were I could ask questions about what the day to day job was like. This was followed by more one on one interviews with higher managers discussing any clarifications to questions that had arise through the process.
Following the interview, I was allowed to explore the city with my extra time to get a feel for the area.
Within a few days, I received an email stating that they wouldn't make me an offer for the position.
Interview Question – No technical questions asked during the interview only behavioral and situational questions. Answer Question

Interview Details –
I submitted my resume in response to an e-mail sent from Intel to my department. I was given a phone interview by one group and was told to expect an e-mail within a week, however I didn't get an e-mail for about 3 weeks. When they got back to me it was a different group but they wanted to bring me on site for an interview. The phone interview was mostly behavioral questions with the occasional question about my research.
The on site interview took place in the cafeteria. I spoke with about 12 people throughout the course of the day. In the middle I gave a presentation on my Ph.D. thesis work. Most of the questions in my interviews had to do with my ability to troubleshoot problems and understand the aspects of tool maintenance and management. The overall feel of the interviews was relaxed and everyone seemed to enjoy conducting the interviews. They were all VERY clear about the hours required and the stress level associated with the job. At the end, I went home feeling very good.
I got an e-mail from Intel about 2 weeks after my interviewing offering me a position.
Interview Question – Give me a creative or unexpected way that you have solved a problem with your research. Give me an example of you taking a risk. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – There wasn't much negotiation because I am a recent graduate
