Interviewed Aug 2010 (took a day)
They asked me a few general questions about my major and my interests and hobbies. As I was a student, I didn't have much work experience so my interviewer didn't ask me about any past jobs. Later that day, I got a phone call saying I got the job - one of the main reasons I got it was because I had asked questions about the company and showed interest.

Interviewed May 2011 in Salt Lake City, UT (took 3 weeks)
The process of applying to the driver position was actually quite easy. I applied online, as the University has just adopted an "online only" hiring process. That only took me about 3 min to complete because once you have applied to one position, it saves the information so that you can blow through other applications.
It took about 3 weeks to get a call, and I was invited to an interview. It was the easiest interview that I have ever done. It took about 15 min, the manager outlined the work, which was actually driving a cart to pick up outdoor trash. I took it!

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Salt Lake City, UT (took 4 weeks)
Initially submitted resume online. I heard back from Idaho Technology within a couple of weeks of posting my resume. They did a screening interview very brief about 10 mins. Later, I was contacted by lab manager to have a sit down interview. The interview consisted of technical questions and character questions. I was contacted a week later for a group interview. I meet the lab employees and was taken to lunch at an upscale restaurant downtown. The atmosphere was relaxed and it was more casual conversation than interview questions. I was contacted a week later with a rejection.
