I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Guadalajara, Jalisco)
Interview
I got a contact at a University fair asking if they were looking for graduated applicants, they did. They asked me to apply online to all the vacants I found interesting, and also to send my resume to this contact via e-mail. After two weeks with no response, I resent the e-mail and they called me that day. I interviewed with 3 people, ~30min each. Several theory questions about computer architecture and OOP. A week or two later, they invited me for an on-site interview which lasted ~3h. They sent a list of topics to get prepared for the interview. Questions' topics were the same, and then short behavioral interview about teamwork experience.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Santa Clara, CA) in Apr 2014

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Santa Clara, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
I was very impressed that the process moved so fast. No delays. The whole process took a fraction of the time it would take at other big companies. Had two rounds of phone interviews then was called onsite. At the onsite interview I had 7 rounds of interviews, one hour each. The first was with senior manager and focused on behavioral, goals questions and then basic questions from what I had written on my resume. The next 5 were technical. I was tested on C, Java because that was what I said I was most comfortable with. Questions ranged from knowledge of the language e.g questions about how the garbage collector in java works, to coding questions on trees, pointers, recursion, string manipulation, arrays etc. Some interviewers also asked computer architecture questions e.g. caches, superscalar processor design etc... The last meeting was with project manager. Asked few questions concerning whether I liked group members and projects being worked on.
All in all the interviewers were very focused, professional, bright and helpful. It felt more like an interesting intellectual conversation than an interview.
