I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Eaton (Galesburg, MI) in Apr 2012
Interview
Phone screening. Then a trip to Division headquarters to meet a panel. May utilize 2 interviewers at same time to extract needed information. The organization is highly matrix which will require you to spend a great deal of time balancing agendas. The interviewers will make sure that this element is completely explored. They will want details at the face-to-face portion.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Eaton (East Lansing, MI) in Oct 2014
Interview
Talked to them at a career fair on campus. One on campus interview and one interview at headquarters in Cleveland. Had to drive there, but they pay for your way there and have an awesome networking dinner. All of the interviewers were very nice and they even had a current FLDP welcome me to the first interview and talk with me before I interviewed to make me more comfortable. The manager called me immediately after the second interview while I was driving home.

Interview
I met at the plant at 9:30am for a plant tour. After the tour I was required to give a fifteen min. presentation about myself to the panel that would be interviewing me. I then met with the first two interviewers. The interview consisted of the typical behavioral based questions. We then stopped for lunch on site. After lunch I met with the last two interviewers. The whole process took five hours.
