The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble in Oct 2011
Interview
Applied through campus recruitment. One week after the application deadline was invited to write the Reasoning Test in person. The test was not complicated and was very similar to the sample questions they provided with. One week later I was invited for an interview. There were two interviewers both from the department I applied to (not HR people). They were very friendly and the follow up questions really guided you towards a good answer. All the questions were standard behavioral interview questions with special attention paid to STAR format. Awaiting results of the interview

I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble (Cincinnati, OH)
Interview
1 round on campus, and a long day of interviews on site. (Most of their recruiting is college hires) There was a lag between the two that sped up immensely when I had a competing offer. They did drug test. (This was seveal years back, not sure if they still do)
The process was simultaneously thorough and respectful of my time. I met with a large group of people on the on-site portion. Some of them were peer interviews, many were behavioral, one was technical.
Afterwards they also brought me out for a selling day. (Not sure if they still do this)
