Interviewed Oct 2011 in Waterloo, IA (took 2 days)
After submitting my resume, there was a general interview with their HR manager. Then the company invited me to their headquarter to do the second interview which takes 1 day. 1:1 interview (almost the same as the first one) is about 1 hours. And there was a site tour after all. Few days later I heard back from them.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 3 months)
Initial interview on campus 1:1 for 30 mins. A month later the company invited me out to their headquarters for a series of 5 1:1 interviews which were informal and very laid back. The particular department I interviewed with said they did target hiring so others interviewing may have different experiences.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
Offered us a stay at the Radisson hotel which was very nice. Then next morning about 7 of us went to their office where they described to us our process. Then we were introduced to the interviewers and had to introduce ourselves to them. From there we had two 50 minutes interviews with two different interviewers. After that we were brought back together as a group and they told us what to expect after this. Then we were brought to head quarters for a lunch and a tour of their building.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Moline, IL (took a day)
I was flown out to Moline, IL for my second round interview. They flew a lot of people from all over the country to come visit their headquarters in Moline.
The interview consisted of two interviewers interviewing me for about 50 minutes each. The kinds of questions they asked follow their STAR method of interviewing. If you look up the STAR method and practice it a little bit you will be fine.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Milan, IL (took a day)
Called by General Supervisor and asked to come in the following day for an interview. Interviewed by 2 General Supervisors and Operations Manager. Interview followed the STAR format. Questions mostly pertained to past experiences. Interview took apporoximately 1-1/2 hours. Afterwards was given a tour of the facility. After 3-1/2 weeks I heard from an internal source that the position was filled internally and the job wasn't meant to be posted externally. General Supervisor did call and leave a voicemail stating the position was filled.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Lenexa, KS (took a day)
About a month after submitting online application, I got email from the department manager (not HR) that to ask me to assign a time for a phone interview. We talked about 40 mins. He asked me several questions including why I choose to work there, use three words to describes myself, use three words to describe the dream job, how did I work on my project, etc. I messed up the interview because it was my first job interview. I did not prepare well. After more than 4 weeks, I received a letter informing me that they interviewed someone else for the position, not surprising though.
