I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CH2M (Idaho Falls, ID) in Apr 2014
Interview
I had three phone interviews for my internship position. I was able to meet the three people who I would be working closely with and who would assign my projects. Very professionally handled and concerned about future growth or interest in working with the company in the future. There was no technical exam but they asked relevant questions and wanted to know you knew what you were dealing wtih.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What classes have you taken related to the position?
What softwares are you comfortable with?
Have you done programming?
It was very detailed oriented. Had 5 interviews with the project manager, the client, and the team. The project manager wanted to make sure that I was qualified for the job.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CH2M (Houston, TX)
Interview
Seemed like a pretty standard interview to me. The first person asked me about my background and qualifications related to the job. The second person spent a lot of time discussing CH2M's mentorship opportunities and their dedication to safety. Gave me time to ask questions. Followed up with recruiter a week later. She told me that the interview went really well, but they decided to move forward with a candidate with more experience.
The first interview was a phone interview that essentially reviewed my resume. I then interviewed with three separate employees who each explained the project that they wanted me to work on. Rather casual and easy-going. It was essentially the same interview repeated with three different people. No technical questions were asked.
