Interviewed Jul 2011 in Sheboygan, WI (took 2 weeks)
I was contacted by phone to schedule a test that assessed skills relating to the job which I was applying. They were kind enough to call my local library and set up a testing there to save me a 7 hour drive from IN to WI. I was contacted two days later and was told that I passed and was offered the option of a phone interview or face to face interview. I chose the over the phone interview which lasted 1.5 hrs. It consisted of the manager and foreman of the coal yard. The interview was relaxed. I was contacted 6 days later and offered the job which I accepted. Overall a great experience top to bottom.

Interviewed May 2011 in Madison, WI (took a day)
Alliant uses behavior interviewing mixed with 3 job related and 3 questions related to your experience and qualifications. 4 people interviewed me: 3 directors and 1 HR.
Right away they asked me to verbalize my qualifications for the position without presenting my resume. Luckily for me I had a qualifications summary already printed out.
The behavioral questions were very typical. What would you do type questions.
The job related questions asked me how I would handle team issues and internal customer relationships
The qualification questions asked me to describe my past achievements as they would related to this position.
The interviewers were very nice to me and the meeting room was comfortable. I choked up once and one of the interviewers offed me his unopened water.
The clothing attire was professional casual and the office is only about 5 years old so it is in very nice condition. The cafe was clean and offered several choices for breakfast and lunch.

Alliant utilizes the SHARE (Situational, Hindrance, Action, Response, and Evaluation) model. Approach it as "I/me" not the team.
