Okay, so first off I assume anyone seeing this saw the Reddit post describing MWS interviews.
For this position, you get to 1600 2nd Ave N, park in the visitor parking right outside, then you head in. Take an immediate left once inside, as you need to talk with the security guard to have them give you your visitor tag and unlock the elevator for you.
Sit out in the lobby, which you'll see right as the elevator doors open to let you off and then wait there until the applicant before you is done...
The HR person will come by and ask you to fill out 3 pages of forms for: general info, consent to check your background, and that you graduated from a Tennessee High School.
They'll come back and let you in for the 5 person panel, ~intended to be a 30 minute affair, where each of the 4 interviewers will tell you a little about their division, in a way that [Removed] is supposed to prevent the generic "describe a typical day in the job" question from being asked, and then they will start the interview.
Also, the interview room has you sit at the head of a table made longways, with the 5 other people sitting nearer the other end of the table.
They asked me 6 questions, roughly being:
A summary of who I am, of my EIT interest, and what I'm prepared for?
About a problem that was exceptionally tough and that I learned from?
How I dealt with conflict in the past?
A question on how to do a specific Civil Engineering task?
Details on how I've managed multiple deliverables in the past?
And finally, describing my knowledge of AutoCAD, ArcGIS, and Control Systems?
When the 30 minutes are up, they will end the interview, so despite what the aforementioned Reddit post states, don't expect unlimited questioning time.
Also, while the questions might change in the future, don't spend your research/preparation time on: where you will be in 5-10 years, what you know about MWS, what's your greatest accomplishment, what makes you strive for success, etc that you might find from a website saying what questions you might get asked in an interview.
Instead, review your past works, experiences, and knowledge to prepare for this interview.

One final thing! If say your schooling and/or work experience has let you past the "first interview," being those six-odd questions that you answered on governmentjobs, this EIT job that you found online is not for all XYZ-Engineer majors w/wo an EIT license, it's for CE's! [---Removed Lines---] So keep in mind that you, if you aren't a Civil, are very lucky to be in the interview room.
