Interviewed Jul 2011 in Houston, TX (took a day)
The entire interview process went very well. It consisted of a one on one interview with the HR Representative. She mostly introduced me to the company by focusing on the company’s history, new and existing projects, and what benefits they offer. I then met with the hiring managers of Project Controls Estimating. They asked questions about my previous job. Their intent of course was to see if my skills could relate to the position offered and if my competence was well enough. They informed me in a nut shell of how their estimating department functions and what type of projects they work on. The interview lasted about an hour.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Houston, TX (took a day)
HR recruiter contacted me; there was no job description. I was puzzled to be interviewed by two individuals from disciplines very different from mine, one very senior and uninterested, the other very junior and attempting to use the interview as platform for learning. Although they correctly guessed somebody with my job title should handle the task they identified (also correctly), the way they went about filling the vacancy (if real) was unprofessional and incompetent in every regard. The junior interviewer was picking my brain and gave me some behavioral advice in the end that included wagging finger. I regret I did not leave on my own, since it took me only few minutes to figure out what was going on. The vacancy is still advertised 10 months later, which is actually critical to the task, if real.
Overall surreal, and even folks who know me have a hard time believing the story. One would think something like this can't happen in a reputable organization.

Interviewed May 2010 in Houston, TX (took 1 week)
the recruiter first gave me a run down of the company's accomplishments (an airport in china, hoover dam, etc). then he began with the usual questions. tell me about your last job, your IT experience, what classes did you like in school (to get a feel for your interests), and all of that. nothing challenging. he gave me more details about the position, asked if i had any questions. he also said their wouldn't be much in the way of formal training initially, but that the current team would be supportive. he was very friendly and told me to call back with any questions.
i did, but he didn't return my call.
