Interviewed Oct 2011 in Cleveland, OH (took 2 days)
Recruiters from my home country came to a career fair on campus. After they read the students resumes, they called a few of us and scheduled an interview 1:2. A week later they sent us an email telling us that we were in the second stage of the hiring process and that we had to fly all expenses paid to OH. In OH we lived the GOLD assestment.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Leiden (Netherlands) (took 3 weeks)
The hiring managers had very business specific details. Being in the B2B domain, info for the label industry is hard to source but trade publications provide more than enough support. The interview with two VPs was very friendly, asked me on my experience as an intern and how do I see myself in the future.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 6 weeks)
The interview process was a phone interview, 1 to 1 interview, another phone interview, the a group interview last over 3 hours. Everyone was very nice and made it sound wonderful to work at Avery. Well, after my final conversation, I would think twice: I was told that an offer was being put together , ONE WEEK later, I was told the job was going to be elimated. NICE!!!

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 2 months)
Initial step included two phone screens. First with HR and then with the so called the hiring manager. I was successful in securing a face-to-face interview. I was told that I would be seeing the hiring manager, sales team members and direct reports. I was called back for a further interview with members that were not available the first time. It went well enough for the final phase which was was an interview at the corporate office with 6 people taking all day. The entire process took 10 weeks only to be told that management, not the hiring manager, want to interview other people to find the right candidate.
You would think that the hiring manager would know what he wants, needs, and fits, but it appears that other members of the management really make the decision, so be warned and prepare yourself for a long process that might not provide the result you want.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Brea, CA (took 5 weeks)
I went through thier process, which seemed inefficient:
1st: Phone interview by Avery Dennison HR. 45 minutes.
2nd: Phone interview by hiring manager. 30 minutes.
3rd: Phone interview by 2nd HR. 30 minutes.
4th: All day interview - from 9am to 2pm - includes 45 min one-on-one interviews with 7 different people. All seems to go well, but two were on the fence. This should have been one group interview for an hour or so to not waste everyone's time.
I followed up 4 times a week for the next 3 weeks and was advised I was still being considered (or stringing me along), when I finally got the standard generic email stating I was not longer considered.
Tried to follow up to get more feedback on what exactly I was lacking (as per thier own web site states to do) - and I really wanted feedback to prepare me for further interviews with different companies, but still got a lack of response.
Disappointing, to say the least, in thier lack of communication. Felt I was just strung along for a long time until someone better came along.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Greensboro, NC (took 3+ weeks)
The feedback from the company was very poor and their process terrible. Did 5 phone interviews where all except one were very enthusiastic. The one decided since she was coming to town for training to fit me in at night between meetings. The message is we only have this time to meet with you during dinner time but we won't purchase dinner and can you do it? It was a day I had to work all 3 shifts before racing an hour away to meet her so I was exhausted and starving. Not a good combination but had no other choice. Needless to say the reception was a little surprisingly hostile. Maybe they did not like how I looked. Afterwards I had to track them down for a denial because they were pointing the finger as to who would deliver the bad news. Not what I would want in a future company.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 2 days)
From the beginning of the event, you feel like you're in a fishbowl being watched by the hiring managers. While they try to dress it up a little and make it fun, it's hard not to feel the pressure of 20 pairs of eyes evaluating everything you do for two days.

Interviewed Mar 2009 (took 1 week)
Phone screening with HR, then the future co-worker, next step is hiring manager and hiring manager supervisor. Interview is pretty casual but they will expect you to wear suit. For the 2nd step of they will fly you in and put you in a hotel for 2 days. Take you around for plant tour or office tour.
