Interviewed Nov 2008 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 days)
The initial communications with me by the company were efficient and professional. (I had been referred to the hiring department head by a former boss who knew that person.) After a converation on the phone, I was directed to apply on the company's website and then HR called me to schedule interviews. I met individually with eight people over a two-day period for behavioral-based interviews. Each discussion was approximately 30-45 minutes. The interviewees were very professional and pleasant, and I was impressed. I had a sense of collaborative spirit and that the company would be a positive environment in which to work. I would advise candidates to review their previous work history and be very prepared with information and answers to various behavioral-type (STAR) questions. (The company actually provides a website to help you understand what behavioral interviews are all about.)

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Green Bay, WI (took 3 days)
The interview processs for Georgia Pacific-Koch Industries is a SBO situation behavior outcome based.
ie - "tell me about a time". I would recommend you become familiar with Koch industries MBM guiding
principles. Also read The Science of Success by Charlie Koch. Really a pretty lame process as GP is
under a huge transition after being purchased and gone private. Also, the company went through "Rapid
Transformation" head count reduction after the purchase.

Interviewed Jul 2007 in Atlanta, GA (took 1 week)
Long interview process, be prepared for over half a day.
In the first step, the recruiter will call and schedule a time for a phone interview. In the phone interview, you will be asked general questions about your past experience. It should last 30 minutes or so.
In the face to face interview, I spoke with 5 people. All in a one-on-one format. They will call out a core value and expect for you to give an example illustrating how you handled yourself in that situation. So for example, the core value may be Integrity and you give an example of a time in your career when your Integrity was questioned and what you did.
Other core values include teamwork, Respect, Ownership, and Value (what do you do that brings value to company). Have plenty examples of past work experience.
I have also had interviews there that were in a panel format. One panel gave a written test.
You will leave tired when you finish interviewing.

Interviewed Jul 2009 (took a day)
Had initial phone screening interview with corporate recruiter consisting of behavioral questions. Recruiter provided information on how to prepare for their type of interview questions which was helpful. Next were three group interviews at a regional office that lasted one hour each. Questions asked related to experience and behavioral questions. Interesting that MBM was not mentioned one time in any interviews since GP is so high on it.

Interviewed Mar 2007 in Palatka, FL (took 6 weeks)
The process was pretty basic for me. I was very experienced in this field. The people who interviewed e were less experienced in operations thn I so it was not so much on my knowledge more on what they wanted as far a expectations.

An employee at my present employer told me that someone at GP called to say I was there interviewing-odd, since I knew nobody at GP. I reported this incident to Koch's corporate ethics hotline. Nobody followed up with me nor did I ever receive an apology.
