Interviewed Jul 2011 in Saint Louis, MO (took 3 weeks)
Was called by HR about nine days after applying. Passed phone interview. Was contacted two days later to schedule an in-person interview. Meet with five people total. Two federal tax managers for 30 minutes, then two state and local tax managers for 30 minutes, then the domestic tax supervisor for 30 minutes.
Some questions were related to experience, others were just idle chitchat. Two of the managers just read a list of questions handed to them by HR (Describe a time when you...).
In the end, one of the managers I met with decided to let me know that she didn't think I'd be happy there (no reason given as to why),and that I ought to go work in Public Accounting, because that's how she started out. I can't say it made any sense, but I thanked her for her input.
I was never told I wasn't hired until I called them three weeks after the interview. An email inquiring about the status of the position a week before I made the call was not answered until a month AFTER the call. Rather unprofessional, I thought, for such a large company.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Saint Louis, MO (took a day)
At my school they had a 2:1 interview, most likely for training purposes. They started out the interview talking about specifics on your resume and your life goals and then proceeded to the behavioral based portion of the interview. My interview experience was definitely positive. I asked how I did and they provided feedback. They look for bright students and foreign language skills is a plus.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 5 weeks)
I was offered an interview with Monsanto after I talked to them at the career fair. Most of the questions they asked were behavioral questions. He asked me what was one of the challenging projects I worked on, an important decision I had to make and an instance when I had a disagreement while working with someone else
