Interviewed Feb 2012 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
There were 5 people schedule for interviewing me for at least 25 minutes/each. Each interviewer asked about experience and how to relate this with the position being interviewed for.
Many questions were about how a person reacts in certain scenarios and other were quite technical. Being prepare about what the company does for business is helpful when interviewing with them

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
The hiring process was straightforward. I interviewed with 3 departmental managers. Everything went well.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
They offered me $34/hr. If you go to the Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics website, the most recent data(2009) states that the lowest paid nuclear engineer in Chicago makes $34/hr. I have a masters with 1 year experience. Why should I start at the same level as a bachelors degree with no experience. If this is such an upscale company, why would I be the lowest paid nuclear engineer in Chicago?
The problem lies with the cost of living in Chicago. At the national level (according to the Department of Labor), 15% of all Nuclear engineers make $34/hr or less. But in the Chicago metropolitan area, the lowest paid nuclear engineer makes $34/hr.

Interviewed May 2009 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
Met with HR in the morning. Explained benefits and gave me a tour of the building. Met with senior engineers for one on one and group discussions in "quiet rooms". There was a CAD skills test at some point in the morning which was very easy.
