Interviewed Oct 2011 in Houston, TX (took a day)
A warm welcome and a few questions about me personally. Interviewer was kind and made me feel at ease. Then followed a set of generic behavioral questions. Typical "Describe a time when you were involed in group work" type of questions. Filled in the boxes on the questions sheet, then on to the next generic question. All the way through the interview though I was made to feel comfortable and the interview showed genuine interest in my responses.

I learned more about the company from a career fair at my university. I got an interview, and I had a 30-45 min. interview with them at the career center. A lot of the questions were situation questions of what I did and how I did it.
