Interviewed Jan 2012 in Santa Fe Springs, CA (took 4 weeks)
I had an initial webcam interview. The manager i spoke with was extremely informative. I then followed up with a face to face with another member of management. Same as the last interview. Very informative. I have been asked to do one more face to face interview, to allow them the opportunity to make the correct decision. Great example to me, as a potential employee

first the HR girl calls you and goes through your resume to see if your "fit" for the corporation and than you have an interview with another higher up within the corporation to see again if your "the right candidate"
finally theres an interview with a senior engineer where the real questions come along

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Omaha, NE (took 2+ weeks)
I contacted recruiter after seeing posting on LinkedIn. Phone interview with recruiter, then 2 video interviews and 1 phone interview with various Kiewit staff members. Everyone was polite, professional and informative. My perception was that the culture is pretty intense and people work very hard there. Hard to say via video, but it did seem like a nice bunch of people.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 5 weeks)
After handing in my resume at my university's engineering career fair I got a call next day for an interview. One HR and one alumni interviewed me. All of the questions were fairly straight forward. Couple weeks later had a second video interview. That was more difficult, some of the questions were vague.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Omaha, NE (took a day)
Started with a phone interview that went well enough. More like a casual conversation than an interview. Then had a webcam interview. I spoke with five engineers of differing experience with lots of question overlap. Standard "gotcha" questions (Name a time you chose to disobey a superior to get a job done.

I got the interview through a career fair held at our university. They had an info session the previous night, so that we all knew what we were getting ourselves into. The interview was very relaxed and he had a standard set of question he asked me. Went over my resume and asked me to give him more info about my experiences. He was very helpful and told me to email him if I had anymore questions.
