Recommend going to an info session. Very friendly, but to the point. No technical questions because they pre-select based on qualifications I presume. They want to know what you do outside of academics. Also, make sure you can explain everything on the resume. Another question: would the previous internship hire you back? They also wanted to know what questions you have for them, then they wrap it up.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Irving, TX (took 3 weeks)
This interview was strange from the beginning, as the HR girl struggled mightily to just pronounce my name. She seemed totally disinterested and distracted when she attempted to schedule a date and time for the personal interview. She refused to answer any questions, simply stating that she would send an email. The interview was very poorly planned, so I quickly surmised that the company was poorly managed. Unfortunately, such was indeed true, as the HR girl's lack of professionalism was indicative of the culture of the company.

Interviewed Oct 2007 in Irving, TX (took 3 days)
Only meet the HR Generalist and she was not educated about the position or department that I was interviewing for. Could not answer any of the questions I had about the position. She asked about what lead to my job hunt and other traditional interview questions that she had on a form in front of her. Was not very personable and seemed akward. The questions were easy enough to answer, but she seemed to not be interested in my answers.
