I received a call from a recruiter, and the process took over four weeks.

I interviewed at Apple after being contacted by a recruiter.

He arranged for a one-hour phone interview with a hiring manager.

After that, I was invited to the corporate campus for an interview consisting of eight 30-minute long interviews with various engineers and managers.

A week after the interview, I was informed that they had selected another candidate, which I do appreciate. I was also given feedback by the recruiter.

Part of the problem with Intel's interview style is that you tend to get asked the same questions over and over by different people who didn't have a chance to hear you answer previously.

Also, 30 minutes per person isn't really enough time to get to know one another.
