I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at ABB (Lima, Lima) in Jan 2013
Interview
Very easy relaxed atmosphere. We just had a chat related to business criticality and role playing. I then met another manager for which I had to travel overseas. Having an internal referral made it easier for us to speak more openly and show actual results of previous achievements

A entrevista começa com apresentação, seguida de perguntas sobre experiência e competências. O candidato responde, exemplifica habilidades, discute objetivos, finaliza com dúvidas. Avaliação e feedback concluem o processo. Não demora pra dar retorno e são assertivos
Panel interview - four interviewers. Provided a list of questions prior to interview to prepare responses on and requested a powerpoint presentation to cover the responses. Interview was scheduled for an hour and overran this time by a few minutes. Overall, panel was friendly but some questions felt like they were leading questions. It also seemed that they had already decided on a candidate.
