I applied online. I interviewed at C.H. Robinson (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2013
Interview
Standard, usual interview questions. Was first called by HR Director (unscheduled call), which ended with salary expectations - I was surprised this was brought up in an initial cold call. Scheduled for interview one week later. Met with HR Director and one Company Director, both of whom where personable and laid-back. However since 2013, I believe there is now more involved with the interview process; I know first-hand that the internal interview process became more involved (panel interview, presentation, etc).

Interview
This was an internal interview for promotion: Initial phone discussion, followed by a analysis exercises to prove ability, then a presentation/in-person panel interview. It took place over a couple of weeks, and involved several higher-ups. I think they are approaching this type of promotion the right way, insuring only those who are ready move up.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked to analyze a large set of data for savings opportunities and then present to the GM/Manager/Hiring Manager. Analysis was open-ended so it was difficult to get off the ground, but went well once I decided on a track. Ended up being a very positive experience.

Interview
This was an internal interview for a promotion. The interview was conducted by my management team directly. The standard interview was fairly brief and focused on why I wanted the promotion, where I saw the responsibilities of the new position, and my own experiences. I was then given a data set and asked to create a presentation around analyzing and optimizing the data. This was approximately a 10 minute presentation, and after they asked followup questions about my findings.

Interview
The worst possible way to conduct an interview.The interview was conducted by one manager who seem to know what he was doing and another account manager who was clueless on what he was doing at work.
