Summer Intern at Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission
Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Laurel, MD (US) May 2012 – Reviewed Aug 18, 2012
Interview Details I applied for a regular FT job and an internship. I was contacted for an interview for the internship position. I sat with the HR manager who interviewed me and asked me very basic questions. After I left, I was contacted about an hour later and offered the job. I was asked to come back that day to sign my offer letters. I didn't receive the salary I expected but it was a summer internship so it was only for a moment.
Interview Question –
All of the questions were typical.
What do you expect to get out of the internship?
Why do you want this internship?
Tell me about yourself.

Summer Internship at Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission
No Offer – Interviewed in Mar 2011 – Reviewed Apr 17, 2012
Interview Details
The interview process for one of the summer internships at WSSC was fairly painless. After sending in your online application (which is very short and simple), HR contacts you about scheduling an interview. If you are selected for an interview, you tell them what time you are available. All interviews for all of their internships are scheduled on a single day, but you can probably discuss it and reschedule if you can't make it on that day. When you arrive, you're directed to the interview room, and you sign in with HR. Then you wait with the other interviewees, until HR calls you to your interview. You get interviewed in the same large room that all other interviewees get interviewed in, so it can be a bit loud and distracting. That said, the questions they ask you are very typical (Tell me about yourself. Why do you want to join WSSC? What will you bring to the company?). The interviewers are very friendly and uncritical; they're expecting unpracticed students. After your interview, WSSC contacts you within about a month about the decision.
I thought the whole process was fairly simple and very professional.
