I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at 3M in Oct 2010
Interview
Interview was well organized, and took place on time. It was a basic 1:1 behavioral interview. I was asked questions about previous experiences and a given a couple of hypothetical situations. The interviewer was looking for anything out of the box and innovative. The company thrives on new designs and concepts and seem to embrace fresh ideas.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Which is more important to you? The initial spark that led to the development of an innovative design or the satisfaction on seeing the product work after fabrication?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at 3M in Feb 2008
Interview
Applied online after seeing their job description and was made to wait 1.5 months before they got back. Asked to schedule a phone interview and was asked very basic questions about my profile and how I would fit in.
