Interviewed Apr 2010 (took 2 weeks)
The first interview was relatively painless. I interviewed at my university with a panel-- two Altria employees. They were very nice and seemed genuinely engaged in what I had to say. The questions were pretty much all behavioral.
The second interview was more formal at a local hotel. I interviewed with another panel, but these employees were very high up within the company. They asked about twice as many behavioral questions... but it felt like they were asking the same questions over and over.

The company was great and set up a panel interview which determined rather I would be hired or not.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Athens, GA (took a day)
There was a spotlight interview where I talked to an older man and a younger man. I had a DUI though I think that probably disqualified me for the position because it included a company car. It was about 45 minutes long and they asked a lot about past sales experience which I did have.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Indianapolis, IN (took 2 days)
Altria preferenced me at my University based on my resume. the first interview was a 2 on 1. They asked behavioral questions and were just getting a feel for personality, articulation, and overall qualification for the job. Roughly 100 people interviewed on the first day, and 20 were chosen to return for the second day.
The second day consisted of meeting with a "greeter" who was in our Career Services office. She gave a booklet with 4 questions in it, and put me in a room by myself and gave me 20 minutes to complete the questions.
after the 20 minutes was up, a new employee retrieved me from the room, and walked me through the office into another room where 5 employees were seated. they were nice, but very thorough, and will sniff out any dishonesty or B.S. you will give. They will probe at your weak points where you ramble, and will do a behavior sample situation.
The whole situation was pretty unnerving, as I felt I was being interrogated rather than interviewed. I am still waiting to hear back. Although the interview went well, I would have to turn down the job based on what I saw in the interview and pursue other opportunities. I basically used the interview process as practice for future companies that were coming to campus in the future.

Interviewed Dec 2009 (took 2 weeks)
There were two behavioral type interviews on campus each lasting 30 minutes. For the third, and final, round interview it was a "Day in the Field" with another candidate and two sales managers. The day in the field involved driving around to different gas stations or retail outlets and restocking the cigarette and other products as well as displaying any new promotions or marketing efforts.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Richmond, VA (took a day)
3 people taking turns asking questions. It was behavioral in nature, referring to past experiences, usually related to group work. Some questions about points on your resume. The questions weren't difficult, but I'm rating this as difficult because the panel interview was pretty intimidating. Advice: take your time answering the questions, if you have to think for a few minutes its ok.

Two people interviewed me. One was a younger employee who had been working for Altria for 3 years, while the other was his mentor, someone who had worked there for over 20 years. It was all behavioral questions. Tell me a time you were in so and so situation.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Indianapolis, IN (took a day)
Initially I was preference listed by the company on my university's career services website, where I was subsequently given an interview on campus. I did the normal interview preparations (company history, structure, financials) and went into the interview feeling pretty good. I did agree to interview late with the company so they might have already chosen the candidates before I even interviewed. I think I was preference listed so quickly because they needed to reach a quota.
