Interviewed May 2009 (took a day)
Anyone looking to apply for an Engineer, Supervisor or Management role here will have to go through similar interviews of increasing difficulty. Prepared presentations are required and must demonstrate that you understand how to equate Engineering process to money and resources.
The questions are all situational and they are looking for you to demonstrate you experience and what you learnt in each situation. They are all linked together and they are looking for candidates that understand that link.
If you are selected they you are required to take a psychological test (2 hours) to determine if you will mesh with their organization.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 4+ weeks)
Applied online and HR invited me for a skills test, which involved a written database/SQL test and some spreadsheet tasks on the computer.
Second interview consisted of (future) manager and HR specialist. Written questions given at the start of the interview, with 20min to review the rougly 10 or 15 questions. Questions were broad and covered areas such as skills, dealing with accomplishments/failures, how to tackle co-workers, etc. Interview essentially involved running through the questions and discussing any issue raised by the manager or HR employee. The culture is laid-back and the interview was somewhat casual (not in terms of dress code but in terms of discussions).
After a week or so, an offer was made conditional on a background check.
