Interviewed Mar 2012 (took 1+ week)
Interview was a one on one conducted at a job conference. The interview itself was fairly informal. It helped that the interviewer and I hit it off, we are both ex-military. It consisted mostly of me displaying a very solid knowledge of the company, and I had taken the time to investigate some of the products the company deals with. Make sure and be flexible in terms of area to relocate. This is an outstanding company that does business all over the world. Most of the actual questions were behavioral, no scenarios to work through.
