Interviewed Feb 2012 in Wickliffe, OH (took a day)
It's a summer internship onsite interview. They provided really professional and sweet reception. The interviews went smoothly for the whole day, each lasts around half an hour. The first is behavior questions from HR, the second is behavior from department peer, then technical tests from the department peers, even I didn't respond to some questions well, they showed understanding for my unfamiliarity to the subjects and gave helpful hints. Then lunch, meet with bosses. Everyone there seemed professional and very nice!
Advice: be yourself, be honest to tell what you can do and maybe what you can't, in good manner, be confident and as professional as they are.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Cleveland, OH (took a day)
Applied online and got a phone call from HR to settle down a phone interview time. The call was on-time and two nice people gave the interview to me. Questions are: describe your research. Tell me the challenge time you have faced before and how you manage to overcome it. At last ask my graduation time and ask if I can end up earlier.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 1 week)
Was called by Recruiter who found my resume on Monster to be a good fit for the job. Recruiter set everything up to the first telephone interview. Telephone interview consisted of hiring manager and HR manager. It lasted for an hour and went really well. Most of them were personality based questions. That led to a second telephone interview with the international personnel. That also was similar in structure and that led to an onsite interview which involved 1:1s with various personnel and a presentation. Overall, I was informed by recruiter later on that the decision was between myself and another candidate and they ended up offering the other candidate since he had more experience relevant to the job description. All in all, a very professional company and I thoroughly enjoyed interviewing with them. From what I saw, would love to work for them since everyone appeared very professional.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took a day)
I had a campus interview. It only lasted 30 minutes. I was interviewed by one recruiter and there was an HR with him. The first part consisted of going over the company and what I would be doing as a co-op. The second half was three behavioral questions. The first question was 'Tell us a recent experience when you had to verbally share your point of view to a peer'. Second, 'When was the last time you had to make a difficult decision' and the last one was something about team work with peers. They said they would contact me soon but I didn't hear back.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took a day)
I had a good phone discussion with the department people. They were very professional in how they conducted them selves. They did a good job of explaning the details of the open position. The HR person was a little alof. I had stay on top of him to get the interview set up and then never heard any feedback from him. The work atmosphere seemed to be very professional and not stuffy.

Interviewed Jun 2008 in Cleveland, OH (took 4 weeks)
The process was pretty standard for US companies: a phone interview followed by an on-site which included a presentation and multiple 1:1 interviews. The on-site went for the whole day from 9 to about 5. The last two people were the hiring manager and HR.
