**Still in the interview process**
After talking with other people who have interviewed with Altria, my first round was a lot harder than most. They asked a lot of situational questions, as well as the typical behavioral and get to know you questions. Left the interview feeling pretty drained, be prepared for questions upon questions and be able to justify and back up all of your responses.
Know the tobacco industry, know why you want to work for Altria, be able to give specific examples, and phrase your responses in STAR format.
Called back for second round interview, which should be similar to first round. However there will be a few essays. Altria is great because they give you feedback about what you need to improve on from your first round.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Richmond, VA (took a day)
I got a strange vibe from this firm. Their questions were all about leadership style and everything about the questions seemed very soft.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Boston, MA (took 5 weeks)
3 interviews total. First is simple half hour 1:1 talk, second round is more intense. It's a panel interview for about 2 hours. They ask you to come in prepared to talk about their brands & have you write an essay while waiting. Third interview is a day in the field with a sales manager & district manager. Overall, the three interviews weren't too tricky, just a lot of time, energy & work. They're really open & nice as a company & make it not too intimidating.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 1 week)
Met with them at a career fair. Signed up for an interview for later that week. They asked a couple of behavioral questions. If you're successful they will set you up immediately for a 2nd interview with a group panel. That interview lasted about 45 minutes. They really grill you here. Mostly behavioral questions.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Richmond, VA (took a day)
Started out going to the college career fair and met one of the guys that gave me an invitation to dinner that night. At dinner, met a bunch of the Altria employees and past interns that are now full-time employees. After the dinner, got an email from one of the guys to do a panel interview at my university. All of the interviewers were really nice and friendly. The interview was an hour long and consisted of behavioral questions. Nothing too hard, but seemed to repeat itself too much. Had to think of many different examples. So far it's been almost 2 weeks and nothing back. Hope to hear back by the end of the month!

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Richmond, VA (took 2 months)
I first applied for the technology internship online and then talked to them at my school's career fair. At the career fair we had a small talk about my interests, they then said they wanted to interview me the next day and later that day they called me because they wanted me to go out to dinner with them.
The actual interview was a group interview consisting of a manager, HR person, and a technology associate. The interview was a hour long and consisted of all behavioral questions, of which I did a decent job at answering. After the interview they told me they would email me within the next two weeks, after a month of not hearing back from them, I proceeded to send them a simple followup email. One month after I sent the email the technology associate called me to tell me I didn't get the internship.

Interviewed Mar 2009 (took 2 days)
The first round interview was with two people. Very basic fit questions and one situational question were asked. The interviewers were very friendly. It was not a stressful interview at all. They did not ask any industry-specific questions.
The second round interview was very informal. You ride along with two managers to see what they do. During this time they ask basic questions to get to know you. It lasted about three hours and was very relaxing. They really want to make sure that you are interested in what you will be doing. It is a snapshot of the internship experience of the summer. After the interviews, there was a background check and drug test (urine test) required before I was able to start the internship.
