The first interview was over the phone, consisted of basic behavioral questions. The second interview was in person with the Director of the unit I was to be considered for and the last was with the staff of that office.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in East Lansing, MI (took a day)
Go listen to professors research all day, and if you're lucky you may get to briefly describe any research that you have done in the past. If you ask questions and do not fall asleep, you will be fine. If you are interviewing as a prospective, you can pretty much consider yourself accepted

Interviewed Jun 2011 in East Lansing, MI (took 2 months)
Hiring manager initially called for a phone screen asking three basic questions. Then followed up a week or two later asking to setup an on-site interview. After three more weeks went in for the on-site interview which lasted around 2.5 hours. They followed up 3 weeks later with a rejection letter.
Work culture seemed great. Employees seemed very satisfied with their work. Very professional and skilled organization.

Interviewed May 2010 in East Lansing, MI (took a day)
My experience interviewing for a job with the Production Operations department of WKAR at Michigan State University was an absolute nightmare. The interviewers came across as cold and hostile, and conducted themselves unprofessionally and inappropriately. Snide remarks were made about my qualifications for the position, as well as the work samples I had submitted, and an air of condescension permeated the entire process. It felt more like a trial than an interview, and I left absolutely dumbfounded as to why these people had acted that way. Regardless, I sent polite thank you letters to each of them immediately following the interview. I ended up never hearing back from them - not even a phone call or e-mail - and found out by checking online that the position had been filled.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in East Lansing, MI (took a day)
I filled out and application and was called in the same day for an interview. During the interview I was asked questions based on my previous work history and was hired on the spot. I think they really needed someone to fill the position quickly. I was trained that same night and started work the next day!

I applied for the position after meeting some people who worked for the department. They invited me for an interview as soon as they had a position open. It was fast and convenient. They asked me few behavioral questions and also about my work experience. 2 people interviewed me and they were really nice. They let me know about their hiring decision in few days after the interview.
