I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Mortenson in Nov 2010
Interview
I meet an executive at my schools career fair. He took my resume and sent me an e-mail weeks later to come in for an interview. Overall, the interview was a bit unconventional. He asked me, what courses I was taking?, when I graduate?, my academic interests? etc., we even talked current events. My take is, he already new I was qualified for the position based upon my resume. I had the sense that he was asking me questions to get a sense of what kind of person I was, and if I could fit the mold of a typical Mortenson Employee.

To be honest I did not find any questions to be misleading or 'tricky'. Very straight forward questions about what I wanted out of my career once I graduated.
