Interviewed Jan 2008 in Arden Hills, MN (took 1 week)
One on one interview consisted of a full day of interviewing with a new person every hour. The interviewers appeared to have different roles as each dug in to a different part of my background. Some were friendly and others were almost confrontational. It was a bad experience and I would not accept a position there if it had been offered.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Arden Hills, MN (took 2 weeks)
Interview was arranged by a 3rd party recruiter who had close relationships with the PMO office. BSCI appears to use a lot of external recruiters, which is strange because they could get candidates themselves without using the suppliers. Typical process of phone interview with the hiring manager, and then 1to1 meetings with the hiring manager and 3 other people in the department.
A typical large enterprise work setting (managers in offices, and cube land). They have a very large and nice facility in Arden Hills. Sharp, college educated people. They scheduled the meetings very well and provided all the logistics on how to get there. Nothing bad about the experience. I never met with an HR person which was good, since those meetings are sort of a waste of time because HR does not know anything about the position.

Interviewed Oct 2007 in Minnetonka, MN (took a day)
It is very rigid. It is quite evident that they follow a set of guidelines, in fact they read the questions of a form.
The interview style is of specific examples S.T.A.R. (Situation. Task. Action. Results) .
They are also very interested in how you deal with quality issues. Example would you ever knowingly let out product that is out of spec, but through your engineering experience know that it is still good? This is the one question they will hammer on you. They asked me this question in no less that 5 different ways, until I answered what I thought they wanted me to answer. What ever you do never say they you will let out product that is just out of spec.
