I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Geosyntec Consultants (Oakland, CA) in Apr 2012
Interview
Interview process consisted of a phone screening, some email communications to collect letter of recommendation, technical writing sample, and transcripts, but they were relaxed on submittal. After the phone interview, they set up an office interview and lunch for the following week. I'd heard from a friend who interviewed directly from college recruiting at the Acton/Boston office that the interview was very technical and very challenging. She said there was even an exam component. At the Oakland office, they seemed much more interested in personality fit. In office interview was a series of 2 on 1 or 1 on 1 meet and greats with some discussion of relevant experience (academic and work) and some informal conversation. This went on for a few hours followed by a lunch out with 3 consultants, similar conversation topics.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview focused primarily on my previous work experience, my short-term and long-term career goals, and how my background aligned with the role. The interviewers asked me to discuss my past responsibilities, relevant skills, and professional achievements. Since the position was relatively entry-level, the conversation was fairly straightforward and conversational rather than highly technical. A significant portion of the interview was spent answering my questions about the role, including the day-to-day responsibilities, team structure, expectations, and opportunities for growth within the company.
Had an initial, quick HR phone call with standard questions to check against my resume followed by in person interview at office with 20 min presentation. Presentation questions were non-technical, mostly focused on the big picture, application, and methods.
The interview process was smooth and the interviewers were friendly . There is really not much technical questions. I had one phone screen and one in person interview, the in-person interview took a whole day.
