Interview
This was the most awkward interview that I've ever experienced. There were ten very formal and scripted questions, to which they did not respond. There were very long pauses after my answers that left me questioning if I had given enough/the correct information.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a situation when your work was criticized and how you responded.
How would you react if you disagreed with your supervisor's assignment/opinion?
Describe a situation in which you've had a conflict with a coworker and how it was resolved.
Panel interview over the phone. Scripted questions mostly about work environment, such as handling high production quotas and dealing with coworkers. No legal questions; very straight forward. Many generic questions like “what’s your greatest strength/weakness”, etc. Took about 30 minutes. Scheduling was very last minute, interviewer called several times and left voicemails saying what time she’ll try again the next day.

Interview
There’s a very structured phone interview followed by written evaluation (the written exam part is a newer thing). Always more than one interviewer on the phone and they take turns asking questions.

Interview
When I interviewed, they were hiring many for the same class. All of the interviews were telephone interviews. I believe there were one or two group phone interviews.

Question 1
The questions are structured. Not much back and forth--ie its not conversational. There were lots of questions dealing with handling processes and quality vs quantity. The job can be demanding with strict deadlines. The questions are designed to help them determine how you would handle.
