I applied through university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Rio Rancho, NM) in Jun 2012
Interview
Phone screen interview including clarifying resume and basic background questions. On site interview including technical questions and behavioral "tell us about a time when" questions. Focused on PhD candidates, almost no BS engineering candidates considered. Interviewed by experienced managers and well as experienced engineers. Doctoral candidates present thesis research and outcome presentations to small panel of employees.
Phone screen interview with HM and then full day panel interview with various engineers and managers. 1hr research presentation then 1:1 interviews throughout the day. HR contacted with decision after 2 weeks.
Algo questions, HR round, spoke to potential colleagues. It was smooth and quick, had a positive experience, good questions asked to me, friendly and positive interviewers for 4 rounds of interviews
First phone call then technical interview on zoom with two interviewers. Asked meet code style questions. Was pretty average but one of them had bad service kept getting disconnected. So was hard to maintain conversation. And kept getting confused.
