Interviewed Oct 2011 in Chandler, AZ (took a day)
I had been applying to Intel for many months during school, went to at least 2 career fairs and spoke with Intel reps and dropped off my resume. Applied to maybe 15 positions at various locations, but became discouraged when I found out about a hiring freeze in the fall. Then out of the blue I received an email inviting me for an onsite interview at Fab32 (no on campus interview or phone screen first). Flew me out for the weekend (thurs-sun) although interview was only for Fri morning. Arrived at 8am with 20 or so other candidates where we were presented with an overview of Intel and the benefits, info on AZ, etc.
Then 2 one-hour 2:1 interviews, the first was technical and the second behavioral. I was most nervous about the technical portion, but the interviewers were very friendly and only asked me questions which I should be able to answer given my background. I am MatSci so they asked me about types of defects, stress/strain, crystals, and some polymers questions. Not very difficult if you pay attention in class. Also some statistics questions, which I am weak with but I told them up front that I didn't have much coursework on it. Still was able to answer about bell curve, std dev, etc but without formal definitions. They did not seem interested much in my research or background, they had a book of questions that they flipped through and found suitable questions.
The behavioral interview was much harder in my opinion. Very intense, these were standard interview questions but sometimes long winded and confusing. Even if you don't have specific experiences that answer the question you have to think of something to say. Take your time but be prepared for follow up questions, they will try to throw you off and see if you can think quickly and logically. Keeping eye contact like that with two interviewers staring you down for one hour was tough. If I did not get an offer, I would have attributed it to the behavioral portion.
Following that was a benefits presentation and lunch with your interviewers and other candidates. Overall very friendly people and experience, but you are always being evaluated. Intense but enjoyable. They said I would be contacted in two weeks but it was more than four before I got an official answer from them. Other than the waiting period the whole experience was pleasant and professional. Only makes me want to begin my career there more. Having the rest of the weekend to explore the valley was great as well.

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 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.

Negotiation Details

I got the interview through a College or University.

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
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test, a Personality Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Chandler, AZ (took 2 days)
I participated in the candidate rush at the Chandler, AZ site. My travel and lodging were payed for. I was very happy with the overall process. The first day was an overview of the rotational program and Intel. The second day we attended a presentation concerning the benefits of working at Intel. We were given three separate interviews. All interviews were behavioral in nature. Each interview had a technical component which was relatively basic. My advice would be make sure you have some strong examples of experiences to draw upon (work, school, etc.). Make sure you are aware of basic functions of company by reviewing 10K or Q. Have a strong working knowledge of corporate finance and the current regulatory environment.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Chandler, AZ (took a day)
I had been dropping my resume off to Intel recruiters at career fairs and infosessions basically all school year before I was contacted for an interview in March. There was only one phone interview that I was told would last an hour. The interviewer spent about 15 minutes in the beginning going over logistics and nature of the internship, Arizona environment, and questions such as "Are you legally authorized to work in the US," etc. Then came the typical behavioral questions followed by two technical questions relating to academic chemical engineering knowledge. My interviewer was personable and able to put me at ease during the conversation.
