The interview began by the interviewer asking me to describe myself. They then described the position and typical job responsibilities. Then they asked me for an example where I, as a leader, was faced with a difficult situation and how I overcame it. FInally, they fielded questions.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took a day)
There is an application process and phone interview. This is followed by a rigorous physical exam and psych eval. If all of these are favorable there is a 1:1 interview and if you are successful there is a simple yes/no offer. Most of this is done in HOuston, Tx and all expenses are paid. The staff was very professional and helpful. Anytime you had a question there was someone near to answer.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took a day)
Phone Interview:
KBR ring up and ask if you have some time, if not, they will reschedule a time for you. During the interview they ask if you have around 10 minutes. But it went for something like 30 minutes to 45 minutes. They ask your basic behavioural questions as well as stuff like, what was your favourite subject, and what did you enjoy.
Interview:
It's quite nice, they send you a sheet attached with guidelines on how to answer behavioural questions. They also ask things like, why KBR? what do you know about us? and then they go through the process. they give you an opportunity to ask questions after every segment, so ask away to show interest!
They guy who interviewed me was a bit cold, so I think smiling alot and positive attitude might help.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Houston, TX (took 2 days)
I was hired in straight from college so the interview process was somewhat typical. KBR came to my school's campus to do a 1 on 1 interview. After that session was complete, I was invited to the KBR office to do a series of what they call "round robin" interview. This is basically a chance to have several KBR employees interview you in short segments so a combined decision can be made. After completing this step, I received a phone call asking if I would be interested in taking a position higher than what I was interviewing for. I accepted.

Negotiation Details
The negotiation phase was brief and to the point. When I received my final phone offer, we negotiated salary right then and there. I feel it was fair to both parties and it was nice that I didn't have to jump through several hoops to get what I wanted.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took a day)
Manager asked for my resume; he wrote updated job description, resume grading tools and submitted to HR. Job was posted internally and I applied. Only one applied and based off the resume grading job was offered. If there was more than one passing score then a 3 person panel ( HR rep that has no clue, Hiring manager, and then a neutral manager that the hiring manager picks...) Yes, it is all friend of friends with contracting in Iraq...
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Manager was on vacation and HR sent (do you want to hire this candidate) email to person listed in the managers out of office auto-response. That person was the candidate... It is all about the networking and friends you have working in Iraq... HR does not verify resume statements... Odds are you can tell them your a R.N. and end up as a medical office supervisor... Sad but true....

I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Mosul (Iraq) (took 2 days)
Basically, you apply online for the position you want. Call the recruiter and begin the process with a telephone interview discussing your resume and experience. If offered the position you will be flown to Houston to begin the next phase which consist of 1 week training. After that one week you will be put on a flight to Dubai. You will go through orientation in Dubai to prepare you for your arrival into Iraq. Most of the interview is about whether your prepared to work in the presence of an active war. When you arrive to your base you will go through a third orientation process explaining the do's and don't's that can get you terminated immediately under general order 1.
