Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez 3M (Maplewood, MN) en oct. 2009
Entretien
The on campus interviewer was very nice. Unfortunately, the process of getting into the door at the company (aka an on site visit) is not transparent at all. Rather than simply submitting my resume one time, I have to continuously apply to positions within the company. After the resume as been submitted to a black hole, 3 weeks later, I receive a rejection letter (like clockwork). I have yet to be contacted since my first interview. This strategy does not appear to be good for the company because they will miss out on some great candidates. Other companies that I have interviewed with have taken my resume and passed it around to the groups that they thought I would be a good fit. From there, the groups have contacted me. This approach prevents underquilfied individuals from applying to positions and provides hiring managers an additional opportunity to find people that may not have noticed the advertisement for the position the he/she has open.
It is sad to see such an innovative company lose out on great candidates. I am not the only person bothered by this hiring approach. Please for the sake of your shareholders, improve your hiring practices.

Was good some assessment about ability to do the job but overall it was professional. You must be prepared and as meek as possible. The Interviewer was nice and understood my questions very well about company culture

Entretien
I applied online and then completed some psychometric tests. I was invited to do a phone interview a coupe of weeks later which was very casual and asked behavioural questions, i think to see whether or not i would fit the culture. I was then invited to an assessment centre which was a full day of 'activities' with 7 other candidates. We each had to do a presentation for 15 minutes after being given 1 hour preparation time. The presentation topics were simple. We also had to re-do the psychometric tests, we had a site tour, a short talk from the graduate manager and a group activity. I was then invited to a second assessment centre which consisted of 2 interviews, a technical exercise and a site tour. This was all very casual also. The people were very welcoming and made me feel at ease.

Entretien
Very relaxed, I did an on campus interview first. This was very casual, mostly asking about my specific interests and why I wanted to be at 3M. Lots of questions related to culture fit. From there, my resume was forwarded to a specific department that I was interested. A manager called me to schedule an 'interview' where he essentially asked why I liked engineering, my school, etc. After a casual conversation I was offered the job, then got an email later.
