Interviewed May 2010 in Greensburg, IN (took 2 weeks)
Standard interview process. Had a 1 hour on site interview with the hiring manager and his manager. Normal questions- Tell me about a time when, how do you react to, there were plenty of discussions about my previous work experiences and key learning. I got the impression they wanted to make sure they know everything about my work experience to make sure I was the right fit for the job.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
Applied through my university career services site and received an invitation for a campus interview. The interview was conducted by a company scientist and consisted of general questions about my background and a few behavioral questions. Weeks later I received a follow-up e-mail with an invitation to schedule a phone interview; however, I declined having accepted a position at another company.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 2 days)
Received a phone interview 1-2 months after applying online and attending my school's job fair. There were a few behavioral questions, but it was very casual overall. I received a call the next day to schedule an on-site interview which consisted of three one-on-one interviews which asked entirely STAR behavioral questions.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Wilmington, DE (took a day)
After I had applied through their online career section. Dupont called me one day to express interest in interviewing for their new Commercial Development Program. The phone interview was pretty standard, no real surprises as to what they were looking for. They then decided that they wanted to fly me down to their Wilmington branch for an interview. They put me up in their fabulous hotel there, and then conducted a day long interviewing session that consisted of 3 one-on-one interviews, a short presentation, and 2 meals where we talked with interviewers. Their questions were fair and were not overly technical in nature, more designed to find if ideals and career goals aligned.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Wilmington, DE (took a day)
The interview was an on-campus interview for second year MBA students. The questions were focused on understanding the summer internship experience and project. The interviewer also asked specific questions and try to see if you have experience and sense of B2B marketing, which is typically what the program is hiring for. One of the question was how to develop a marketing plan. The interviewer asked in detail what would you do in each and every steps. Another question was if a R&D engineer told you about a new product idea, how would you response to him.
