I applied through college or university. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at Cummins in Jan 2014
Interview
Submitted resume at career fair and on the careers website. Got a behavioral interview call after 4 months.
Behavioral Interview Questions:
1. Tell me about yourself. (Give your elevator speech.)
2. Give example of a situation where you were in a difficult situation and how you came out of it.
3. Give example of a situation where you worked in a team.
4. What, in your opinion, is/are your weaknesses?
Got a technical interview call 1.5 months after the above interview.
Technical Interview Questions:
1. Tell me about your background and interests.
2. What is the first law of thermodynamics?
3. What is entropy?
I was asked if I preferred an internship in a slightly different area of interest than mine. I said I would prefer my area of interest. If not, then I am fine with the other one as well.
Got a call another month later with an internship position in my area of interest. Said yes and had an awesome learning experience.
Super professional all the way through. Had 2 interviews before the final offer, the second one being more technical. Interviewers are interactive and interview results are updated quickly, so you are not waiting in the dark.
