Interviewed Oct 2011 in Houston, TX (took a day)
My phone interview started with a "Tell me about yourself", and then a brief review of my resume. Later I was asked some behavior questions such as "Tell me an example to show your capability of group work" which were simple and straightforward. Finally, he described several positions that might be available and asked me about my preference. The whole process took exactly 30 minutes. This was my first phone interview and I didn't do well. And I got a rejection in 2 weeks.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Houston, TX (took a day)
Very laid back interview process. Not a whole lot of information was given beforehand concerning the nature of the interview. We were told to give a 5 minute presentation about ourselves and what we had most recently been studying/working on. The details were very vague. Interview took all day due to presentations given by company personnel.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Sugar Land, TX (took 2 months)
My background is ECE. I first found about the REMS opportunity during Cornell Career Fair in September of 2011. I talked to a recruiter at the time. Got a pretty good idea of what the job is like. Applied online for the REMS position right away and then I heard back a month later in mid-October. I had an on-campus 30 minute interview 1:1. There was a presentation the night before. I passed that round and I was invited to Sugar Land, TX in the end of November just before Thanksgiving. There we had a 7 minute presentation and 3 1:1 interviews.I was told I am going to hear back in 2,3 weeks. In fact I heard back in less than a week. The offer was very competitive and I went for it.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Sugar Land, TX (took a day)
The interview was a bit intimidating as there were 3 interviewers and 12 interviewees. We were all in the same room and given a scenario and a brief amount of time to make a presentation to the interviewers. After the presentation, the interviewers randomly ask questions to the interviewee that is presenting and all the while you are in front of your competition.
The topics to be discussed were your background (work and education, why you want to work for them, and why they should hire you. Lastly, you are given a scenario with you as the CEO of the company and a dilemma with a large client arises and you answer how you would handle the situation. My topic was something like, "If I am the CEO and one of our largest clients, let's say BP, comes to you and wants to drill in a hostile, foreign land. Your competitor has already started work there and lost lives due to local attacks. If you accept the job you gain a $30 million contract and if you decline you disappoint an important customer. What do you decide and why?"
