I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Eaton (Cleveland, OH) in Sep 2015
Interview
The interview process was efficient, polished and extremely professional. I have never had such a positive candidate experience! As I was an out-of-town candidate, Eaton arranged for a private tour of Cleveland for me and my husband; this was a 'show stopper'. The executive tour company showed us many areas of interest including downtown and several suburbs - these folks were exceptional and really helped us to emotionally engage with a potential move (and, by the way, Cleveland is really nice!!!). Unquestionably, the Talent Leaders of Eaton understand what 'good' looks like when selling your organization. The next day, I interviewed with several HR Leaders and had many robust discussions. Each person that I met with put me at ease immediately and I genuinely felt valued as a potential hire.
Overall, the experience was tops! I would highly recommend Eaton as a premier employer due to their leadership, technology, gorgeous campus, and great location. I am so thankful for such a positive candidate experience. You cannot begin to imagine my disappointment when I learned that they went with an internal candidate because I was so excited about the opportunity and firm. Thus, I am hoping my path will cross again with them sometime again in the future.
Eaton definitely has a first-class Talent Acquisition team.

Had a chance to interview at a major Job career conference. Met with recruiters at the booth and was offered an interview slot. It was mainly a Behavioral Interview with approximately 10 questions and lasts approx 1 hour. It was a 1 on 1 interview and I was also told to apply online prior to the interview so I could be in their system. The position requires possible multiple relocations throughout a 2-3 year period.
