Interviewed Nov 2010 in Asheville, NC (took 3 weeks)
Applied online for initial round of resume screening. Received 45 minute phone interview verifying and elaborating on past experience. Was invited to attend on site interview. Received 30 minute job preview with current employee, then interviewed with two groups of two interviewers for 90 minutes each. Questions were standard behavioral/Lominger style with a large amount of repetition.
Followed up with thank-you emails. After 2 weeks followed up with voice mail to HR contact and received 2nd interview with current manager. Spent less than 60 minutes discussing job specifics and ascertaining personality fit. Received verbal offer the following week. Written offer is contingent on background and drug screening.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Charlotte, NC (took a day)
One of the easiest behavioral interviews I'd ever been through. Eaton recruits from my university therefore they already have an idea the type of caliber we bring to the table. The interview consisted of three main questions. I can only remember the first question which was "describe a situation where you had to make a decision with a minimal amount of information, tell me what you did, and what was the outcome of your decision" This first interview was about an hour long, and I had to be very detailed, but it gave me an opportunity to really talk about myself.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took a day)
I got the interview request from the agency. they set up a date & time for interview. My interview was conducted by the local manager. He was very logical with the questions. He was checking my Attitude, background experience., my engineering knowledge, engineering basics by asking different questions on basic engineering & past experience.
After his interview, i was asked meet with HR person, he was waiting for me, that seems to be good communication between manager & HR person. HR person asked many questions related to my family background, why i am changing the job etc.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Raleigh, NC (took 5 weeks)
The process was somewhat standard. I applied on their website and 3 days later I was contacted by their talent team. The talent team sent my resume over to the hiring manager for review. Next I was contacted by a local HR Generalist for a 30 min phone interveiw. The interview consisted of behavioral questions and questions about my background and education. I got called back for a on-site about a week later. The on-site interview was with HR, Director of Finance and two plant Controllers. The process was about 3 hours consisting of behavioral questions. The process was extremely professional and seamless. Two weeks passed and received an offer.
