Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
I approached a Kimley-Horn recruiter at a school career fair. The conversation we had went really well and led to an interview the following day on campus. The interview was brief (about 30 minutes) but jammed pack full of questions. They consisted of your basic interview questions. I would recommend having a few examples of previous work that you have done that has shown problem solving and leadership.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
This was an on campus interview the day after a career fair. They asked me to tell them about myself and then they started at the top of my resume and asked me about each thing I had listed. Then I got a chance to ask them questions.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 3+ weeks)
Extremely pleasant company to interview with. You will meet as many people in an office as possible to ensure that you would potentially get along with everyone. That said, as long as you have excelled in a good engineering program, they assume that you will be able to perform engineering tasks with skill. They are more interested in your personality than your transcript and will hire based on a good fit with their team, rather than a 4.0 GPA.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Fort Lauderdale, FL (took a day)
They were very dilligent in their selection. They took their time and made it a process. They reviewed the resume, asked the appropriate screening questions. They performed a drug test and a background check on their potential employees. They wanted to make sure that they get the right person for the job. I think their standards were just a little above average than the average company.

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 2 weeks)
The interview only consisted of very straight-forward questions. The interviewer, knowing that it would be a very selective process, seemed to have already narrowed his list of candidates before the interview. That, along with his questioning, left those on the outside looking in with little chance to impress.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Phoenix, AZ (took 2 days)
The most grueling interview process thatI have ever encountered. Recruiter interview. Vetted by recruiter, Telephone interview, person interview met many individuals. They tokme to lunch. Then another telephone interview, filled out application, then drug test. Then still another interview. They did there own back ground check. Then checked references with some other people that were not even supervisors with past employers. Theydid their own checks even though recruiterhad pre-vetted me. It was the most ridiculous process that I have ever been through. What a beauricratical waste of money.

Interviewed Jun 2008 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 months)
I got the interview through a friend who recommended me for the job. At the interview, I felt like I made personal connections with the group of people interviewing me, and my resume was impressive, so I was told. However, I did not get the job because my experience was not extensive enough. I would still recommend this company and would consider working for them in the future. Great benefits, a good culture and a great reputation in their industry.

Interviewed May 2009 in Sacramento, CA (took a day)
Human resources screened the resume and cover letter and called a couple weeks after the application. The person was helpful in explaining the company's mission, work hours and ethics, but didn't have much real detail on the actual job, nor how to assess how my skills fit with the position. I think it would have been far more helpful to have done minimal screening -- do I sound articulate, can we schedule an interview -- and then pass me on to the appropriate department. It's disconcerting to have a phone interview with someone who doesn't know anything about what you do, and how you can do it, even if your skills are applicable but not necessarily a perfect fit for the position.
