Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Santa Clara, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
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).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Unexpectedly easy questions. I would have liked to have been challenged so that I could have shined brighter.
It was a normal interview with the hiring manager. Done via online. So far the questions asked are more on what you can do for Intel and putting Intel first.

Why should Intel hire you.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Intel Corporation in Dec 2009
Interview
The interviews lasted all day and comprised meetings with one or two people for approximately 30 mins. In general the people were very friendly. However, it was clear that there was either a lack of clarity or transparency regarding the position. I received different (and not reconcilable) descriptions of the position each session.
