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 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 2011 in Richmond, VA (took a day)
I was contacted by Altria for a phone interview, and was then asked to come in for an in person interview. I thought the interview went ok. The questions were not very difficult. I just wasn't exactly what they were looking for. My expertise was in a different area, and it looked like things were never going to go past the interview. They mostly asked situation questions (i.e. What challenges have you faced where you have had to emerge as a leader?)

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.
