I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Intel Corporation
Interview
The preliminary phone interview was quite simple. Not much of probing questions. My overall impression about the team from the onsite interview was very positive. The requirements for this team were quite strict. My impression was that the main emphasis was on software skills and that was not my main area of expertise. This could have been easily clarified at the phone interview which could have saved both sides the trouble and time.

Question 1
The interview questions are mostly technical, getting into details of the methodologies I used for the research project. I think they really want to test how you conduct research and the depth of your technical knowledge. It is important to prepare to articulate the details of your research, not just the results you achieved.

Interview
The interview process was behavioral. The hiring manager was well-mannered, professional and extremely well-trained to do his job. It was an hour long and was divided into two halves - first half involved him asking about my background and discussing my resume. The second half involved behavioral questions.

Interview
Engineer from Intel's Lithography group gave a presentation at the school, and selected 10 students for an interview the next day. It was a 40 min interview with a mix of both technical and behavioral questions. One behavioral question was "Can you handle stress? Give an example."
Few were selected for an onsite interview at Portland. The onsite interview lasted whole day - 9 in morning to 4 in evening. The day started with the manager of Lithography group giving a short tour of Intel and describing the hiring process. Then, I gave a one hour presentation based on my PhD research. Lots of questions were asked by the audience during the time. Following that, I had 40 min one-on-one interviews with 5 managers in the Lithography group. All managers picked up on my research fairly quickly and asked probing questions testing the depth of my knowledge. I faced only one behavioral question - how do you handle conflict?
The lunch was with two new-hires in the lithography group. The purpose was to get a perspective from recent joinees.
