The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Altria (Athens, GA) in Feb 2011
Interview
Originally met with company at a job fair and then attended a Company info session they hosted. was offered a interview online. The interview process consisted of the basic resume questions and explanations and then behavioral questions based on experiences on resume. The interviewers did a nice job of making you feel comfortable but almost too comfortable. Make sure you understand the roles of a TSM and the values of the company. The company is very structured.
Overall, it was a nice interview. I feel that they brainwash you into believing that they are the best company to work for, but looking back on it, it just seemed like a lot of flash.

First step was to answer screening questions and submit a resume. Second step was a pre recorded interview where you had to record yourself answering several questions and respond in writing about salary expectations.
3 steps - Behavioral, case study, and shadowing a manager. Very casual interview process. Focus on the STAR method and it'll be fine. For the case study you have to sell in a product by influencing the prospect with data and insights they provide
