Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 3 months)
Everyone at 3M was really friendly. The interview process went very smoothly, except that it took a really long time. 6 months had passed between when I applied for the job and my first day of work.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Minneapolis, MN (took a day)
Interviewed by Hiring Manager, several of their team members and a couple of peers. Interviews varied in quality from almost hostile (recruiter) to very professional. Didn't appear to have a structured interview approach and one of the interviewers seemed to be using me more to brainstorm some of her current challenges. This was not the experieince I was expecting from such a large well known and successful companyu as 3M and I decided before the interviews were complete that I wasn't interested in joining and I withdrew that day.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Minneapolis, MN (took 2 weeks)
2 on-campus interviews. First was 1:1 behavioral and case-based. Cases were more like short-answers than a full blown case interview. Second was a full case and was with two members from the company. Cases were about products at the company and based on marketing mix type questions. Overall it was a pretty fun series of interviews. I kept getting dragged on through the follow-up process and ultimately never heard back from the company. Kind of annoying...

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Saint Paul, MN (took a day)
I went in to an on-campus interview. I went to a pre-night where three employees/interviewers gave a presentation on the interview and internship process at 3M. Although the interview wasn't extremely hard, they did ask questions that kept me on my toes. Make sure you are up-to-date on all of the companies operations.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
I applied through a university job board and submitted my resume and cover letter. They provided a description of the 2 year marketing strategist/leadership development program. I was selected for an interview in about a week, and interviewed with them about 2 weeks later. The interview was with two people and lasted about a half hour. Both of the people I interviewed with were very nice, let me ask questions at the end, and were very informative in their answers. Be prepared with a marketing plan for a random product on the fly.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
Interview for Optimized Operations Engineer. The interview was heavily statistics and Six Sigma related, and they obviously put a lot of effort onto Six Sigma at the company. I wasn't selected primarily because I didn't have a previous internship with the company, which makes me wonder why they even bothered to interview in the first place.
