I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Covidien (Waltham, MA) in Sept 2009
Interview
I worked with a recruiter, had a phone interview with the hiring manager, had a lunch interview with the hiring manager, went in for interviews with about 5 people, and a few weeks later met with the hiring manager and another employee for dinner.
The interviews were fairly informal, with behavioral type questions.
The whole process was quite drawn out. It seemed that maybe they couldn't get the budget approved, and also they didn't seem to quite know what they were looking for.
I thought that I'd get hired, but didn't.
