Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 3 days)
Initial phone screen conducted by HR Manager. Good feedback, secong interview conducted by Hiring Manager. 3rd interview by Unit panel, focused on general management questions, behavioral questions, and case examples relating to work experience. Transparent process, questions were of standard screening nature and did not get into technical matters. Tried to be as concise as possible, and focus on core characteristic I believed they were attempting to quantify.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 days)
Easiest interview ever. I was really nervous about it all and thought I performed poorly in the interview, but I was told I excelled in the interview and was given an offer with a very good salary.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Huntsville, AL (took a day)
Started out well but got very strange.
They give you 3 non-trivial projects to complete and submit in order to be considered for a face-to-face interview.
Am I back in college?
I have participated in hundreds of professional interviews as both the interviewer and interviewee. I have never seen a organization assign programming projects like this.
I was insulted.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 days)
I was interviewing for full time, not internship. Got invited to 2 day college hiring event after having on-campus interview (simple behavioral/resume stuff). First day is largely a waste of time except for the free food (dinner is AMAZING, open bar reception etc etc). The dress code is a bit over the top in my opinion (suit + tie required for a lot of the events). Plant tour is a lot of walking...not much interesting...cubicle city in the middle of the desert. Second day is interviews. MASSIVE amount of interviews going on simultaneously (20+)...not an intimate setting at all.
2 department managers and 1 HR rep at the table (who looked bored) . I got the feeling through the whole process that they know whether they want you or not before you even start talking...so I didn't need to do a whole lot of "selling myself". My interview only lasted 25 minutes (formal interview questions like teamwork, previous projects, etc etc) then I spent 20 minutes talking about the company with them and asking questions. Got email same night saying they were making offer. Formal call 3 days later. 10 calendar days to accept/decline.
No technical questions were asked. They want to see how well you can problem solve (engineering...obviously) and work with others. Everyone was polite. Very well organized event.
Out of ~100 people at the event about 50% got offers (full time / intern combined).
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
No negotiation....firm offer. They mail you your offer packet before they even call you. The only negotiation they will do is if you have another offer in writing. The offer was good (average / a tiny above average) salary wise and probably what I would have negotiated to anyways.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
It was a 1st round on campus interview. Was asked a series of common behavioral questions, and mostly things from my resume. Given my interests, I don't think the interviewer and I clicked very well.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
An admin asst calls me on Friday to set the interview time and agrees to 1pm (she already set it) but says I need to wait for her to get back to me because she has only been able to contact and get confirmation from 4 of 5 managers. She said I should hear from her Monday morning. Monday morning rolls around,- 10am I hear nothing so I call her and leave a voicemail, I also send her an email. Forty-five minutes before the supposedly scheduled interview, I called her again and get voice mail. No contact from her whatsoever. I figure that I have to wait until she contacts me and that the interview has been postponed (since I still have no idea with whom I'm supposed to interview and no idea of the location to interview). Now it's 1pm and guess what? The hiring manager calls me to ask me why I haven't shown for the interview and that 2 managers are waiting to interview me. I explain what has happened and she then says she will have them do a phone screen (going from an in person to a phone screen--not good). Each of them asks me 4 questions and then says they have what they need. I was extremely well qualified based on the job req. Within an hour I was rejected. The admin finally responded to me saying that at least I got a phone interview. When I explained to her that I was upset that I missed an opportunity because of her foulup she says there was a recruiter involved (no there wasn't) which she copied in on the email. The recruiter never responded. The whole process was totally messed up from the start.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
Before the phone interview I had to fill out a Conflict of Interest Certificate form & fill out a HireRight application. The phone interview itself was very relaxed & the moderator explained the programs & what an intern generally does. Then I explained my projects & classwork that related to the position I was being considered for. It was a good interview & I waiting upon an offer.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
I applied for the interview through my university's career center website. They chose the interviewees based on their resumes. I signed up for a 30 minute time slot. My interviewer was a systems engineer. The interview consisted of 4 behavioral questions. After the interview, he said that the results of the interview would be added to my profile on their company career website. It was not an interview for a specific position. I then applied online through their website and was contacted a week later by a human resources representative asking me to submit my transcripts and examples of my work to forward to a hiring manager. I suspect they will call me back for an additional interview for the specific position I applied for.

Arrive at very early time to make sure to show prompness. Waited 1 hour for someone to hand me paperwork to fill out. About 10 pages worth of previous work history and qualifications. Also needed information to complete background check and drug test. Signed waivers and handed back to interviewer.
