I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at 3M (San Diego, CA)
Interview
Asked basic questions of who you are and why you would be a good fit. Interviewed by one male who was very friendly and positive, and one female who frequently interrupted you and never blinked which made eye contact very nerve wracking. No one ever got back to me either.
The interviewers introduced themselves, followed by my self introduction. Following which, I shared what I know about the company and what they offer, as well as my area of interest. They then shared the job description and relevant details.
