Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 1 week)
I applied through my university recruiting system and then went over for a one on one interview. I was asked about my resume and experience, and about my interest in and understanding of the company and what they do. There was a situational question and there were no case questions. At the end of the interview I was asked to write a letter to reaffirm my interest in the company and to email it to my interviewer.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Norwalk, CT (took 6 weeks)
On-campus interview with recruiter, alumnus of my university. Asked me to send back a brief "thank you" explaining why I still wanted to work for them after the interview - basically another cover letter. Got a phone call over a month later asking me to schedule a power day, consisted of about 6 1:1 interviews with people in various parts of the company and a really easy math quiz and IQ test. Received an offer within two days. No quant, no cases; pretty much all fit/resume review type stuff.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Norwalk, CT (took a day)
About me: BA in Painting MSEd in Art Education. Freelance artist/illustrator.
Oh. My. God. what a waste of time. They briefly looked over my portfolio before putting me in an art studio where I was to do a test painting so they could see my skill level. (The interview was to last from 2 pm until 5 pm.) They gave me materials but not everything I needed and told me to copy an ornament EXACTLY. I tried my best. At around 5:30 everyone left and I was alone in this room looking around wondering "What the heck? Who is going to finish this interview?" One of the people that was supposed to "mentor" me popped his head tried to find someone to finish the interview. I ended up seeing the head of the art department who was sort of snotty and said stuff like "You REALLY want to do this work? I CAN'T STAND this CRAP" Insulting! As if I have a choice...I needa job! As if he was so "above it all". He gave me his card, told me to email him to set up a 2nd interview. I emailed him and he said he'd have someone "get in touch". This never happened.
Thinking back...did I really want to work at the dust collector factory with my talent? Not so much.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took a day)
The internship interview was very casual. I was just asked about my resume, times I worked in teams, overcame obstacles, etc. A large portion of the interview was informative with my interviewer telling me about the company, which I had very little prior knowledge about. The interview concluded with the interviewer putting the remainder of the process in my hands, leaving it up to me if I wanted to be considered for a second round interviewer at the MBI headquarters in Connecticut.

Very basic interview questions, mainly behavioral. One question I remembered, "Tell me about an achievement you're proud of"

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took 2 weeks)
Phone interview, then a few days later was called back to come in person. They flew me in and put me up at a hotel. I then took a basic skills math test and IQ test. Then I interviewed with 4 different people, one in HR and one in management across each of the three divisions. It was mostly behavioral questions, not too intimidating. Everyone was really nice, but the culture wasn't really for me. It's a smaller company with a "suburban" kind of feel.

Reason for Declining
I had an offer for a better role elsewhere, though it was for less money.
