Interview Details
I had interned at Honda of America, Mfg. before as a Safety Engineer, so I was brought back a year later for a summer internship. I had not heard about the position until HR sent me an email asking if I would be interested in working with them again. I guess this shows that Honda does care about keeping in touch with its employees (or at least the interns).
I had to wait for almost a week before the interview was scheduled. That interview lasted for nearly two hours; the first half consisted of a series of typical behavioral questions and the second half included a tour of the plant and some introductions to a few key supervisors/coworkers for the internship.
A week and a half later, I emailed HR to ask for feedback and they got back to me with news that I have been selected for the position but they still needed to finalize things before it was official. Three business days later, I got that email.
This was a different and more in-depth interview than my previous Honda internship where I stayed within the interview room and didn't go into the factory. This could be because I had undergone the company's safety training during my first internship. Also, questions for my second internship were actually created by the interviewer than by a specially-formatted sheet. I suppose the process might be different for every department.
Interview Question – This one was from that first internship at Honda (Safety Engineer), not my second one. It was: What was one non-peer that you look up to and why do you respect him/her? View Answer

Interview Details The process is basically using the common STAR system. A lot of profiling type of questions where you need to state the situation, describe the task, the actions you took, and the results. The interview is very impersonal. Questions are pre-packaged and not customized to learn any more or less about each interview candidate.
Interview Question – When you encountered a time where you didn't know the solution to a problem, how did you know where to go for information? Use the STAR method. Answer Question

Interview Details Applied online and received a phone call scheduling a phone interview. The phone interview started off with the interviewer going through my resume and asking me about my work experiences and my experiences with student groups. Then he asked of a lot of STAR "tell me a time when" questions. They took a long time to get back to me, so I called asking what the status of my application was, and they told me to wait again. The next day I received an e-mail saying I did not get the offer.
