Interviewed Oct 2011 in Groton, CT (took 4+ weeks)
I got a phone call a couple months after applying online and set up my interview for 2 weeks later. When I got there, I was interviewed by 3 people separately and was assigned to a "tour guide," for lack of a better term, who showed me around and took me to each interview. The first and last interviews went fine. I was asked about my resume and my working habits and the like. The second one was technical, however, and I didn't do so well with that one. It was tedious and I couldn't answer a lot of the questions. About a month later I received a rejection letter in the mail.

Interviewed May 2010 (took 2 days)
1st round of interview consist of mainly interview questions.
These questions are all mainly behavioral questions.
2nd round of interviews is on-site. Normally meet with a minimum of 3 people. This round of questions is more technical.
This process lasts all day. Along with questions you get to see demos of projects are currently being worked.
Day ends in a sort of mixer where they tell you if you got the job.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took a day)
After submitting my resume to the online site I was contacted by the recruiter and an interview was set up. I was emailed an application to fill out and bring to the interview. Once I arrived I was escorted to a conference room where I met with the two people I would actually be working with. We had a pleasant and positive exchange. Afterwards the Director of Procurement interviewed me for approximately an hour.

Interviewed May 2008 (took 1 week)
I dropped off my resume, was called the same day, and informed that the HR department was interviewing me soon. I set the interview for two days later. I was then interviewed by 1 person and after interview I was shown around and introduced to everyone. The people were friendly and the office was laid-back. I then left and was called the next day and asked to come back and interview again. This time the interview was with 5 people (group setting) and went well and the people were friendly. I was asked more in depth technical questions, and wasn't contacted by them again!

The initial phone interview was technical and not very detailed. The in-person interview was a day long process including discussions with 8 different managers, lunch and plant tour. Prepare for a very long day.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in San Antonio, TX (took a day)
Recruiter called me. We went over my resume. I sent my resume a PDF document. Later he asked me to change it to a DOC so he could modify it. I spoke with the a few more times. He covered pay rate, vacation and contract length. Asked me several inappropriate questions:
1. Was I married (because of insurance he claimed).
2. What year I graduated college
Everything seemed to be going well but then got no further responses. No follow up call, no email. The recruiter also used a personal email for the whole thing. Perhaps it was a head hunter.
