I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Altria (East Mansfield, MA) in Feb 2012
Interview
Basically just behavioral questions. Key questions would be:
- How do you feel about working for a Tobacco Company
- Name a time when you failed, what your steps to success after?
- What gets you excited in and out of the classroom?
Very informal, more conversation than interrogation. Ask you what about Altria grabbed your attention and why you think you would be a good fit for the company.

When was a time you encountered a challenge and what did you do to overcome it?
Questions asking about how you solve problems in different situations. Emphasize using the SAR method to describe a situation, action, and result. Then moved on to a case study question where they present information about a hypothetical sales interaction.
