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.
Interview Questions
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 Background Check, a Drug Test, a Group/Panel Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Phone Interview.

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....
Other Details
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.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Houston, TX (took a day)
Got the interview through the University Career Fair, interviewed the next day. A mix of company pitch and job description as well as a few technical questions about control systems. The guy was very relaxed and attentive. Told I will be hearing something in November but its almost Nov. and haven't had a response. Overall good experience

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Houston, TX (took a day)
I was chosen to attend a campus recruiting event. The interview was entirely behavioral. They did not expect you to know anything about control systems. The recruiter was surprised to see that I had done multiple projects on control systems. The interview was more about the recruiter explaining the job description than a serious interview. Go prepared with questions otherwise your not going to make an impression.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took 2 days)
The interview process was quite detailed. They invite you a day before and have a dinner with the managers, then the next day, you have a breakfast orientation and group discussion, the core interview (2 sessions) and lunch with group of people, and the final session of core interview. I found out that they evaluate ALL aspects. Not only during the core interview, but also all the group discussions, meals, etc.

Interviewed Apr 2008 in Fort Saskatchewan, AB (Canada) (took a day)
It was a striaght forward interview wich focused on education and experience on large industrial projects. There were a few behavioural questions, but nothing one wouldn't expect for the scopeof the position. They did a reference check as well. The Regional HSE Manager was easy to get along with in the interview. THe HR interviewer seened inexperienced and was following a scripted form that had little to do with the position.
