Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 3 weeks)
Applied via the career services at my University. Week later got an interview date. The interview was 1:1 and the project engineer who interviewed was extremely nice. Went down my resume and asked two questions which lasted for the majority of the time. They were the typical behavioral questions, "Tell me about a time.." At the end he gave me some time to ask him any questions. After the interview was over he informed me I would be told before Thanksgiving if I got the internship. Three weeks later I got a rejection email.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in Calgary, AB (Canada) (took 2 weeks)
Very intimidating, Behavioral interview questions will be more pointed, more probing and more specific than traditional interview questions:
Give an example of an occasion when you used logic to solve a problem.
Give an example of a goal you reached and tell me how you achieved it.
Describe a decision you made that was unpopular and how you handled implementing it.
Have you gone above and beyond the call of duty? If so, how?
What do you do when your schedule is interrupted? Give an example of how you handle it.
Have you had to convince a team to work on a project they weren't thrilled about? How did you do it?
Have you handled a difficult situation with a co-worker? How?
Tell me about how you worked effectively under pressure.
Follow-up questions will also be detailed. You may be asked what you did, what you said, how you reacted or how you felt.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took a day)
It was an on-campus interview lasted about 20min. Very informal. The interviewer was a senior engineer. Questions were mostly competence based e.g. describe yourself, team working experience, extra-curricular activities, also he asked about my previous work placement experience. He was very friendly so the interview was quite easy unfortunately I still had to apply online but I failed the online application.
