I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Nucor in Feb 2010
Interview
I was introduced by a friend. I emailed the mentor of the last summer intern (who set me up) my resume and a short note. They asked for a phone interview. Then I did a plant tour.
They asked me a bunch of questions about how steel is made. They talked about how the cold mill operation works.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Nucor (Crawfordsville, IN) in Feb 2014
Interview
Interview for electrical engineering intern position. Three electrical engineers were interviewing myself. Lasted approximately one hour. Partially resume directed, and partially stock questions.
Relaxed environment for the most part. Asked a few simple EE question relating my my level of coursework and the brain teaser below. Mixed behavioral, work experience, and technical questions. Looking mostly for a fit between applicant and company environment. The engineers here clearly fill many rolls and gain a good breadth of experiences. The interviewers were clearly very happy with Nucor's willingness to put a lot of training into their employees and in the work environment itself. Very results-focused.
