I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at General Motors (GM) (Columbus, OH) in Sep 2013
Interview
Initially spoke with a recuriter at a career fair and was generally impressed with their knowledge and personability. I was invited to an on-campus interview the next day. I took off work early to make the interview, and upon arrival learned that they were nearly two hours behind schedule. I understand that the panel had been interviewing candidates the majority of the day, and running over a minute or two is to be expected. I received zero notification from a company representative until 30 minutes after my scheduled interview time. I finally sat down with recruiters two hours late, and they were less than interested. I had high expectations for the company, and was truly let down.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at General Motors (GM)
Interview
There was a hiring / resume screening with the recruiter first. Then, after, there was one round of interviews that was pretty much all behavioral questions. Very quick turnaround in results of the offer or not.

Question 1
Why General Motors?
What projects are you interested within engineering?
The interview process was very straightforward. The hiring managing team reached out to me to set up an interview over Zoom. They were very flexible with times and scheduling. I was interviewed by a Human Resources employee and engineering lead.

Question 1
Give me a time when you had to work in a team and what was your role in the team?
It was an online interview where they would give you the questions and you would have 30 seconds to think about the prompt and 2 attempts to record your response. After 6 questions or so, you had to complete a set of puzzles/games. A weird process overall and disheartening that I never got to speak to a real person.
