I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Intel Corporation in Dec 2013
Interview
Given significant time on resume. Prepared for apti also but focus was on digital and analog circuits. As my thesis was devices based hence also prepared semiconductor devices.
Selection Procedure: Not very sure about short listing. Shortlisted people were there from all spectrum of pointers. No written test. There were two rounds of interview, in first Tech (more focus) + HR and in second more focus was on HR.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Chandler, AZ) in Jun 2010
Interview
All day interview of one hour each with six different people. Each interview covered a different area of engineering including circuit design, logic circuits, computer programming, validation, and testing. Shufflled from room to room for each interview, sometimes from building to building (conference rooms can be difficult to schedule). Opportunity to ask questions of each interviewer. Some were skilled at interviewing and some were poor at it.

In addition to technical questions there is alos behavioral questions asked. One example is "tell me about a time when you had to do something different from what the conventional approach suggested".
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Irvine, CA) in Apr 2013
Interview
The team really was in need of a design engineer ASAP. My resume was good fit for the kind of work they were expecting so the interview was very straight forward.
The interview had few technical questions but that was to verify that I know what have on my resume.
