Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
They usually have a panel of 3 people to interview you. They start with casual questions like telling them about your self. They will ask you to solve a few technical questions involving pressure, Force, temperature calculations.
The questions about your skills will not be direct. They want to hear about your team work skills and your strengths and weaknesses but they will ask you indirectly. I was very nervous so I was unable to answer the questions they way they expected me to.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Flagstaff, AZ (took a day)
Prior to the interview I understood my qualifications for the position were substandard for the position, however I chose to pursue the interview for the experience and to gather more information about the company. Needless to say I was met in the interview with very little gratitude and the gentlemen was semmed unwilling to interview me or talk to me about the company he worked for.

The questions were very specific and included a case study. I'd advise learning about manufacturing beforehand.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 1 week)
Started with an introduction with the HR generalist and the Engineering Manager. First question was, tell us what do you know about W.L Gore ? Mentioned the values of gore available on wikipedia and stated that I value those things and therefore intrested to work at gore. Next the manager asks, walk me through your resume. He picked up a graduation project and asked me to explain it in detail. Design of Experiment was some thing he was intrested in. I think answered the question to his satisfaction. Next they started random questioning focusing on people and tech skills. Team work or Individual work ? New product introduction or do you enjoy sustaining work ? What are your strengths ? What are the things you want to improve on in your next Job ? This all happened in 20 minutes.
Next, They gave me a chance to ask questions.
1) Its a new position and you are not replacing any one.
2) Its and endovascular product in predevelopemental stage.
3) Team comprises of 7 to 8 tech engineers, extended team consists of 10 engineers, We are Refining design and can use help with feasibility testing, setting up the instrom, sampling plans for IQA and testing.
4) We are in early phase and have not hit a major road block, but I am sure there are going to be discoveries in the process.
5) Flexibility and the help you get from the people is the best about W.L.Gore.
Nirlep : on a closing note, I thank you both for your time. is there any thing that I can offer which I may have missed. The HR Gen mentions that we will get back to your recruiter by wednesday and will go from there.
Conclusion :
1. Its a team based organization, Culture fit is the key to get on board.
2. Very fast paced interview, did not got enough chance to tell every thing I knew about Gore and Gore products.Just for the records here are the things I researched about gore.
Over all a neutral experience. Can say what will happen Next.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
Interviewed with two recruiters for a 2:1 interview. They asked basic interview questions like describe yourself, what do you know about the company, what do you know about the position. They also asked two "case" questions. One showing a band aid and a band aid with a corner cut and then asked as a supply manager what your next steps would be after seeing the faulty band aid come off the line. Then they asked me to draw a process diagram for making a cup of coffee and then about expediting, etc. They emphasized questions about team work and leadership.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Elkton, MD (took 2 days)
It was an on campus interview where I attended an information session the day before the interviews were conducted. On the day of the interview I was interviewed by 4 groups with two people in each group. The work culture at Gore is very team oriented. They want to see that you are willing to get input from others before running off and making a decision on your own. There are no bosses at Gore so they want to know that you work well in team settings. They also like to see that you are technically capable and a self-motivated individual.
