Interviewed Nov 2009 in Pittsburgh, PA (took a day)
It took awhile to hear from the endowments after submitting the initial application. I eventually got a call asking me to come into an interview downtown. The interview was easy enough. Questions were mostly about personality traits and for the applicant to display a very general knowledge of Pittsburgh. One question I remember is to "identify a problem in Pittsburgh and describe a way it could be fixed"

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took a day)
They advertised for a manager position, I took the skills tests meant for managers, but when I received an e-mail confirmation of the interview, they switched it with an accountant position. The office is impossible to locate and they don't provide written instructions on how to get there.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Massillon, OH (took 3 months)
The people were very welcoming and laid back. During the whole interview process they just wanted to get to know you true personality and management style. The position I applied for was particular about how you would handle conflicts between employees and your management style. It would have been nice if they updated me with the interview process since it took about 3 months.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Pittsburgh, PA (took 2 days)
Heinz's interview process for students is an initial interview either at your school or on the phone. If you make it to the next round, they arrange for you to come the North America's Head Quarters in Pittsburgh (they put me up at the Westin - really really nice). In Pittsburgh you will go through what is pleasantly called "Blitz Day" where you mingle with some Heinz people and get your itinerary for the day which consists of 4 one on one interviews with various managers in different functionalities. These interviewers have a predetermined list of behavioral questions to ask you so they get pretty repetitive - just know your problem, action, solution, and result for each situation you talk about and you will be golden.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Pittsburgh, PA (took a day)
The hiring process was very thorough, beginning with a phone screen with a recruiter. The phone screen lasted about 30 minutes and was basically a review of my background and how it compared to the position description. The phone screen also included some AP Style questions from one of the hiring managers.
The next step was a phone interview with a hiring manager. She asked some follow-up questions from the initial phone screen and we discussed my experience more in depth. I believe this lasted approximately 45 minutes.
A few weeks later I was invited to participate in an in-person interview process. I interviewed with five different people (all one-on-one interviews -- Talent Acquisition director, PR manager, PR coordinator, HR VP and a manager in another department) and had lunch with a sixth person (an HR manager). During the interviews I learned there was potentially a second position to support communications efforts in a different department. The process also included two tests -- one personality-based test that was completed prior to the interview and a computerized skills test (not writing/editing, but more cognative thinking) that was completed onsite.
The company seems very committed to improving employee communications. I was impressed by how many people would have input into the decision to hire for this new position. Although I was not offered the job, I do think this is a great company with a strong committment to its employees. The office environment was business casual and very friendly. I would certainly apply there again if there was an opening that matched my skills.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Pittsburgh, PA (took a day)
I met the company representatives through an on-campus career fair. After dropping my resume, they selected me for an interview, also on my college campus. The 30 minute interview consisted of mostly talking about my past experience and behavioral questions. The recruiter simply went down my resume and asked about things that jumped at him. He then asked me some finance and accounting questions. Make sure you brush up on accounting!
My interviewer was very nice and polite and also gave me a parting gift that represented Heinz. However, since he was so nice, it was hard to get a sense of how I was doing during the interview, like I didn't know if I was doing poorly and need to step up.
