I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at 3M (Minneapolis, MN) in Feb 2014
Interview
The first interview was much more relaxed than expected. There were two interviewers and it felt more like a conversation about the job and my qualifications that it did an interview. The interview only lasted about 30 minutes which also eased nerves. They were very open and honest when answering my questions about the position and the company, which I greatly appreciated.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you think you are a better fit for this position than any other applicants?
One to one interview with hiring manager, asked basic questions such as experience and goals. Overall, very pleasant, more interested in your interest and why you chose to go for the internship
Straight to the point. Interviewer was friendly. Interviewer screen through all applications resume which I felt was fair. Interviewer also hired based on past experience instead of grades which I'm greatful for.
Panel interview. The interview process was casual. Mostly generic questions asked like what made u choose this job, what do u plan to learn during your time here, have u applied to any companies aside from ours, reason for applying to those companies
