Interviewed Mar 2012 in Archbald, PA (took a day)
I got a call to set up a phone interview in the following week and was interviewed by the HR rep that initially called me and 3 engineers/hiring managers for 2 different positions. There were a couple of behavioral interview questions and also some questions going over my resume/background and the interviewers were all pleasant, friendly people. I was told that they were looking to make a decision based on the phone interview and I'd hear back from them in late March/early April.
After not hearing back with a decision, I sent a couple of follow-up emails and was notified by the HR rep that I was still being considered, but the decision process is taking longer than usual. I'm still waiting on a decision, but I think the hiring process is longer than typical.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in San Jose, CA (took a day)
They e-mailed me and asked if i was interested in an on-site interview. I accepted. Everything was paid. including hotel. The interview was 2 Lead engineers and an HR interview. there were about 6 other candidates at this interview and they had a presentation before the interviews.
They asked STAR questions and one interviewer asked a technical question which was very distracting as i had only prepared for the STAR part.
Basically they want to know how you work in a group setting and handle challenges. Thats what they are looking for. Is your fit at their company and your group interactions.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Littleton, CO (took a day)
I gave my resume to a recruiter at my University and a few months later I was contacted by the HR department at Lockheed asking if I would like to interview for a summer position. The interview was on site. The office was one of the nicest office I've ever seen nested in the Colorado foothills, the only offices that I've seen that are nicer are Google's HQ. There were 10 hiring managers that were in charge of different projects at that particular office. We each had between 2 or 3 interviews. The interviews were non technical and consisted of mainly behavior questions.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Denver, CO (took 2 weeks)
I applied for several intern positions on the website. I was contacted through email about an interview possibility. Once I said I was interested, I received an email with instructions on how to book my all expenses paid trip to Denver. I was given a plane ticket, hotel and a rental car. At the interview site there were about 9 other intern candidates. We were not interviewing for specific positions, just for the company in general. The interviews consisted of several one-on-one interviews with managers of different projects in the Denver area. All of the interviews were in STAR format. They literally had a sheet of paper with questions on it and columns for your situation, task, action and result. Be prepared for several STAR format questions about communication, teamwork and leadership.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
There was no negotiation since it was an internship. Ask lots of questions about your position and have your recruiter ask your manager for job specifics. Otherwise you will just be given the generic intern job description.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took a day)
Sent my resume to the HR manager, heard back quite quickly. Interviewed with the lab director, two engineers, and the HR manager. They just asked behavioral questions, nothing too technical. They did ask me to elaborate on some of my resume experience. Just know the material on your resume and be calm. They were all quite friendly.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 2 weeks)
The interview process was fairly simple and straightforward. I went in for a 1:1 on campus interview, which consisted of behavioral questions only. The interviewer seemed pleased with what I had to say and the questions I was asking. After an hour interview, I spoke HR and the interview was over.
A couple weeks later I received a call that I had gotten the position. Overall, a good experience. They were mainly focused on personality and behavior more than experience.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took a day)
I was asked 6 questions regarding leadership, group work and work ethic.
The interviewer was pleasant and easy to talk to. I simply used real life situations to answer the questions. I prepared by analyzing my strengths and weakness and anticipating the type of questions that would be asked. Try not to go off on tangents because you may inadvertently answer other questions and once you get to those questions you won't have much to say.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 4 days)
I was contacted by phone and asked to set up a phone interview for later that week. The university recruiter was very pleasant and congenial.
I interviewed towards the end of the week. The interview took about 45 minutes. The first 10 minutes or so, the recruiter explained some background information on the position and the rest of the process, were I to continue on. He let me ask a number of questions before we got started, and then we spent 25 minutes or so discussing my experience. We ended after I asked a few concluding questions.
The interview questions were primarily behaviorally based questions. I was asked to give examples of certain behaviors. While I can't remember the questions exactly, I was able to respond easily with PAR stories (Problem, Action, Result) that I had prepared beforehand using questions like, "Tell me about a time you overcame a challenge," or "Tell me about a time when you demonstrated leadership."
The following Monday I was notified by email that I would not be moving on to the next stage in the recruiting process.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Washington, DC (took 2 months)
They called and asked about times when I was a leader. They also asked what I am most proud of up until this point in my college career. The interviewer was very friendly and the interview only lasted less than twenty minutes. I was nervous I did not get the internship because of the length of the interview, but I found out a couple of months later that I had. I know they have hired interns very late in the year.. they don't always know how many are needed in the fall for the following summer.

Interviewed Mar 2009 (took a day)
I was lucky with the interview as I met my interviewer early that day. He was lost and I helped him find his way to the correct room at the Reitz Union at my University. He asked if I was interested in a position and I told him yes. He gave me an interview the next day. The interview was straightfoward. We kinda BSed about the football team and the girls at the school for a couple minutes and then he asked a couple of generic interview questions: When was a time you faced adversity and overcame it? What do you think you could bring to this company? And what was a time you failed and had to deal with it?
The position was a systems engineering intern, so there were no technical questions. Overall the interview went very smoothly and I received an offer within a couple of weeks.
