Interviewed Apr 2012 in Lehi, UT (took 2 months)
Got an initial interview from a career fair at my college. The interview went well, they took us to dinner and then had interviews the following day. The interview consisted of technical questions and behavioral questions. I then had a phone interview about 3 weeks after that consisting of almost the same behavioral questions with an hr rep. I got a call back saying I had been selected for an onsite interview and we set that up for about 3 weeks after phone interview. The onsite interview went well, consisted mainly of technical questions and what I would do in certain instances on the job. A very professional experience, however Lehi is not a place for me. A friend of mine got the job and I never recieved a call from them to even let me know, that was my only gripe even though I would have denied an offer. Not a company for me or location.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Lehi, UT (took 2 months)
I got an interview through a career fair. The interview consisted of the basic questions and a few behavioral questions. This was my first professional interviewing experience, so I was kind of unprepared for the situational questions. The interviewer was very nice, although they never responded to me when an inquired. I'm not sure why because I thought the interview went fairly well. It took them about 2 months to finally notify me that I did not get the position.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Lehi, UT (took 2 weeks)
On campus interview with two panel members. Typical HR and explain experience/resume question. A week later phone interview was more HR typical questions. Next step was two hours of programming tests. Due to hearing negative things from friends with experience there, and trying to finish last semester strong, never took tests.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Lehi, UT (took 3 weeks)
I first applied for the position online, and it took a while before I heard anything about the position. I got an email from an HR person at IM Flash to set up a phone interview with the RDA engineering manager. My phone interview with him followed a few days later and was relatively relax. He asked some technical questions, and some situational/behavioral. The entire interview was about 30 minutes. I thought I did pretty well. I got a call back about thirty minutes later asking to set up an HR phone interview, which I did for the next day.
The HR interview was mostly situational questions, i.e. "give me an example of a time when...", and also asking why I want to work at IM Flash, move to Utah (I live in Iowa). That interview also went pretty well and I was told that they'd like to set up an on-site interview, which ended up being about 3 weeks later. This phone interview was around 20 minutes.
IM Flash paid for my flight, rental car, food, etc. so I did not have to pay anything to get to Utah, which was very nice. I got there on a Thursday evening and a dinner was set up at the facility for the ~10 interviewing for various positions. There were a couple presentations about the company as well as a tour of the site (not in the fab). I received my interview time for the next day, which was 9:30 AM.
I showed up around 9:15 the next day, and waited probably 10 minutes before an HR rep came and got me to start the interviews. The format was that of a "blitz" interview, so about 10 people interviewed for various jobs on the same day. Many of us got there at different times, but we all sat in a conference room between personal interviews. After about 5 minutes in the conference room, I was summoned by an HR person. She asked me the usual HR questions (behavioral and why I wanted to move, similar to the phone interview). This lasted around 30 minutes. Afterward, I was escorted back to the conference room.
My next two interviews were each with three engineers, who asked me difficult situational and relatively difficult technical questions. I don't think I was on that day, and I blanked on some questions that I'd normally be able to answer with ease. As a recent materials engineering graduate, they asked about some materials properties and how I would approach problems, and that sort of thing. They also asked questions like, "name a time you've gone above and beyond", and "describe a conflict you've had either at work or school with someone, and how you've dealt with it", what my goals (1 year and 5 year) are, among many others. As I said, for some reason I just wasn't doing well that day, and I did not feel that great about those after going back to the conference room. These interviews were probably 45 minutes each including my pauses to think and questions I had for them.
My final interview was with one of the engineering managers, who first asked me to draw the structure of a MOSFET, so I did. He proceeded to ask me about what everything does and is made of, and I did okay. I felt like he asked questions in a way I wasn't used to, which made me stumble on a few of the questions. This interview ended up being around 20 minutes, and I was escorted to the entrance of the building and told they'd let me know within the next week.
Overall, I did not feel to great about it when I left. I did not like that the interviewers didn't really show any emotion during or after the interviews and gave no real indication of what they thought. This was a tough, and relatively long (4 hour) interview. The company seemed very good at what they did and I would have liked to work for them. However, the following Monday I got a call telling me I did not get the position.
Some advice for the interview would be to do a lot of homework and research as much as you can about the job and anything it may have to do with. Know the core values! The HR representatives specifically mentioned this at the dinner and it was the first question I was asked at the second interview. I was subsequently asked which is the most important to me, and why with an example.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Lehi, UT (took a day)
As an internal applicant for the position I knew it was open from word of mouth, the usual way at IMFT. I applied using the online job finder tool, fairly straightforward. A day or so after the position closed I was given an interview slot about two weeks out (the actual interview was extended out another couple of weeks due to the holidays; this type of reschedule happens often for internal positions) along with a description of what was looked for in the presentation. All the managers in my area were involved and present in the 45 min presentation and the 45 min Q&A after. Key areas in the presentation were IMFT Core Values, trying to improve on what was seen missing/needed in the job, general knowledge of the skills needed for the job. The information on who got the job was disseminated by e-mail after all candidates were informed in person. All candidates were given a de-interview where suggestions on improvement were given.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took a day)
I had a brief interview with an engineer at my college. A couple weeks later they called me and asked me to fly out for a more rigorous interview process. First night there the company gave a presentation and a one mile tour around the facility. Next morning I was asked to appear at the building. I was first interviewed by HR which was mostly the general HR questions you would expect. Next I was interviewed by two engineers for about an hour. They asked me a large amount of technical questions. Next I was interviewed by a five person panel who again asked me a great deal of technical questions. This lasted at least an hour and a half. Very nice people. Lastly, I was interviewed by one more engineer and then left the building after about 4 hours of interviewing.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Provo, UT (took 2 weeks)
There was the initial phone interview with a guy from HR, and then an in-person interview. The HR interview was normal, and the in-person interview started out normally. However, after I thought I was done, I found out that I had 3 more hours of interviews. All-in-all it took almost 5 hours to complete the interview process. The first interviews included technical questions about flash technology as well as programming, and seemed more than sufficient, but then it seemed that I had to talk to everyone I could possibly work with. I was interviewed by a total of 10 people. I think that if someone wants to interview me for 5 hours they need to let me know the schedule in advance.
