Interviewed Feb 2010 (took a day)
I was introduced by a friend. I emailed the mentor of the last summer intern (who set me up) my resume and a short note. They asked for a phone interview. Then I did a plant tour.
They asked me a bunch of questions about how steel is made. They talked about how the cold mill operation works.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Blytheville, AR (took a day)
Got connected through university. Made arrangement over email, then visited plant to interview with department manager and two direct reports (sub-managers). Everyone was nice, professional. Interview was pretty casual, not specifically structured- didn't seem to be going by a pre-set list of questions. Asked about my work experience and ran through my resume. I'm pretty good at drawing relevant stories from all my past experience, and they seemed to be impressed.
Other class peers that I know well were also interviewed. I was concerned that it fell through, because it took about two weeks to hear back, but I got the first offer and accepted it.
Everyone in the place was really nice and positive, even just passing people in the hallway. I think the things that made me stand out were my age and work experience compared to my peers, and my blue-collar background. Although this was an office job, it's a very down to earth, "worker" respect culture.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Tuscaloosa, AL (took 2 days)
Initial screen by phone asking lots of technical questions and posing situational questions. Took about an hour.
The on site visit was scheduled for a full day. First part of the day required drug test where they took body hair, breath analyzer, fill the cup. This was followed by a couple hours of tests for personality, problem solving, intelligence. The rest of the day was with individuals and groups in the department. Lots of tough questions requiring situational answers. Questions were all over the map. Very long and tough interview. One session included role playing. During the interview process, there were constant interruptions for phone calls, emails, people knocking at the door. All the interruptions required coming back the 2nd day to finish.
They never tried to sell Nucor as a good place to work. Nothing about work-life balance.
