I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Intertek (Plano, TX) in Mar 2011
Interview
The first interview consisted of a one on one interview with who was, then, the Operations Manager. He seemed friendly and professional and I came away with the feeling that this would be a happy place to work for the long term. We set up a second interview to follow for the next week. At the second interview I spoke with who would be two co-workers, and one other manager. All went well, expectations were expressed and it all sounded very agreeable.

Question 1
I mostly had the standard interview questions: Where do you see yourself 5 years from now? What is your most difficult task, personally? Etc...
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Intertek in Jan 2012
Interview
Informal interview process. General questions about resume and listening to what they were looking for --which was unclear. It was not certain if the job was really available? The manager wanted to hire but it wasn't clear if corporate would allow it. The interview consisted of peer interviews which seemed to be a personality inquiry with questions about favorite movies, etc. The peers made the job seem hectic and one openly complained about management and seemed angry.
