Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
If you are interviewing for a job at General Motors they use STAR questions in the interview. They will ask a question and you have to give them a situation where you completed a task including the actions you took and then provide the results. I had not been interviewed using this method before so it through me off guard at first.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
Interview was positive as the interviewer wanted to learn how my skills from my prior position were applicable to a marketing role for the General Motors OnStar line of products. There were no overly difficult questions, and the interviewer was extremely friendly and nice. Mostly a behavioral interview, with questions such as "please explain a time when..." or "tell me about your experience with..." type of questions. General Motors is an exciting company that is rebounding from some tough times, therefore they are looking for energetic and motivated people who can drive the company forward. If there was one thing I would change, it would be to research more about the company, and show knowledge of some creative ideas that can be applied to their product line.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 1 week)
Two phone interviews starting 1 hour apart from each other. One interviewer from the Treasury department and one from outside the Treasury department. No technical questions, although I suppose they definitely wanted to know what your impression of treasury work is.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
I met with two GM employees, one HR recruiter and one supply chain director. The interview took approximately 30 minutes and I was asked 5 or 6 basic behavioral questions which were to be answered in S.T.A.R. format. I was asked various questions based on my past experiences that were relevant to the job I was applying for.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took a day)
Applied online through GM website. Recruiter called me the very next morning. He was very aggressive and pretty much his sole purpose for his phone call was to find out how much money I made and wouldn't take no for an answer. My past income was most likely more than the position could pay. The recruiter assured me I would know either way through e-mail on average two weeks time. It has now been almost 2 months and gave up hope a long time ago. If you are applying to General Motors and not a minority or veteran, good luck to you in your interview process!

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Bedford, IN (took a day)
Disclaimer: Not a typical interview scenario since my GM plant was closing and personnel was trying to help place others. The people I spoke with in Bedford were very pleasant. The site is a foundary that was undergoing some construction and preparing to install new equipment. Typically, GM uses the STAR (situation-task-action-result) interview process which is also known under other acronyms.
Reason for Declining
Not able to relocate.
