Interviewed Mar 2010 in Houston, TX (took a day)
After submitting my resume for an open req I was contacted by the hireing manager. A few days later the HR department contacted me to schedule an in person interview. I interviewed with the team lead and section manager. about 3 months later I was offered the position. I returned the offerletter, submitted my backgroud info and a drug test. I started two weeks later.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Although I could have negotiated my salary I did not. However, a co-worker did and from an eye witness perspective the process takes a little while... but once both parties come to an agreement the reset is history.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Huntsville, AL (took 2 weeks)
I interviewed with 3 people, they had a prepared list of very fair questions. I thought they had a really good bank of questions. The interviewers all had a check list and took turns questioning me. I interviewed with all 3 at the same time.
This was one of the more enjoyable interviews I have had.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD (took a day)
I was bidding internally for the position the I currently am in. The interview process was pretty easy considering I was already an employee with the company. I think it's a little crazy the you have to interview for another position just to move up. When I interview the first time a few years ago there was a phone interview, then a group interview, and once I accepted the offer there was a background check.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Warren, MI (took 1+ week)
Jacobs was very responsive and professional about the interview. I applied online after receiving notice via their email list about a position which fit my skills. I received a phone call from their Human Resources department a day or two later, and had my initial phone interview that week. It was followed up by a face-to-face interview the next week. I received an offer a few days after that.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Negotiating was very easy. I simply stated where I was right now and what I expected to receive (~11% raise). My requested salary was inline with my experience. After a brief discussion, the hiring manager and program manager agreed.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Huntsville, AL (took 2+ weeks)
Intial interview was very detailed. Thorough questioning on a wide range of subjects- was physically sweating by the end. . .. Personal interview was very informal and relaxed with a group of prospective peers and supervisors. Felt very comfortable with the management team I met.

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took a day)
It was a difficult interview. Lots of technical engineering questions about structures etc. I didn't know enough about bridges. They asked a lot of questions about bridges. I don't come from an engineering background so maybe i shouldn't have gone for this job. The HR person interviewing me was very nice on the phone and didn't grill me.
