Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 2 days)
Went to a job fair to hand in my resume and applied online. I think they want to see that you take the time to do both as well as be confident for the first impression.
First, there was a phone interview which was basic questions like why did you choose engineering, why this university, describe a time when you had a conflict working with someone and a brainteaser. Everyone had a different brainteaser. I didn't get it right away... they just want to see that you follow through in your solution.
Second, there was a group interview. We got in groups to figure out this logic problem and then had to build something to support an egg while it was dropped from the top of a building. We had to prepare a presentation in groups beforehand. They asked mostly safety questions after the presentation. I would suggest keeping everything simple. I would also suggest to ask questions since most of the interview was describing the segments and listening to presentations... they want to see that you're interested and engaged. They also watch you watching everything so act attentive and don't be on your cell phone. Take notes etc.
Everything was simple just don't forget that even though its relaxed you are on an interview.

Interviewed Apr 2008 in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) (took 2 months)
First a phone interview which asked basic HR questions like what are your weaknesses.
Then some questions to see if you can handle the work load of field operations, such as what is your most intense 24 hours.
The group interview consisted of being in a room with 12 other people, asked questions and made a small presentation, then a 1 on 1 interview.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Macae (Brazil) (took 2 days)
1 - Interview at the university with one or two recruiters. The interview is based on the Curriculum and on the availability of the person to travel/move to virtually anywhere in the world; mentioning that places might be really bad in terms of life quality.
2 - Two days interview in the company's base.
2.1 - Dinner with all candidates and recruiters;
2.2 - You go to sleep and at the middle of the night (3 am) the hotel staff wake you up and ask you to pick up a book at the hall. They tell you the book is to be read until 6am and that there will be a test at 7am.
2.3 - Test first thing on the morning; getting to know the base during the whole day with some group activities in between the visits.
2.4 - There is a party at the night to get to know managers and drink some beer to relax - it finishes at 1am.
2.5 - When you get to the hotel you receive another task - prepare a presentation for the next day to be presented to all managers - it has to be done during the night (after the beers) and you don't get the chance to sleep.
2.6 - Presentation to the managers and visiting some more places on the base.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Shanghai (China) (took 4+ weeks)
Good company, but the HRs are not those professionals, some of them came back from the field and with engineering background. So the best way to pass the interview is to organize your words in an scientific logic. Suit and tie are not necessary for field engineers because of their working environment.

Interviewed Oct 2009 (took a day)
It's actually a pre-eliminary interview process. First they asked us to present something about random topic for bout two minutes, the topic is like: what do you think if your car broke down in the middle of nowhere, what do you think of women as an engineer, etc. The next part is the Skills test, the subjects are maths and basic physics (electrik, mechanics). then the third part is group discussion and HR interview. If you passed, you'll face the user interview and medical check up.
