I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (Portland, OR) in Jan 2013
Interview
From time of application to interview it was a month and a couple of weeks. Interviewers asked basic behavioral questions. Job description was not conducive to the work they expected the PM to perform. They wanted a business analyst, not a Sr. PM responsible for ICD-10 end to end testing. From the time of application to 1st day of work it was almost 2 months as they have a minimum of 3 weeks for on-boarding new folks.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (Walnut Creek, CA) in Jul 2013
Interview
Was direct and quick. My Director was a rare breed - made a decision quickly and then moved fast to fill the position. Most other interviews I've heard of at Kaiser (or experienced) will drag out for extended periods, with feedback seeming to imply that many managers have trouble making decisions quickly. My Director was fantastic, definitive, and was a great person to work for.
