Interviewed Mar 2012 (took a day)
After completing an online assessment, I was invited to interview with Fairmont at my university's campus. The interview is separated into 2 parts. The first was a 30 minute interview with 2 HR Managers from a nearby property; the second was a 30 minute interview with the Corporate Recruiter. Questions consisted mainly of situational and behavioral questions. They also reviewed my resume and asked me a few specific questions about those experiences.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Victoria, BC (Canada) (took 2 days)
I went to an open house at the Empress in Victoria, BC. The event was disorganized as the hiring managers and HR did not expect so many people; I arrived right at the start and there were already 100 people. As a result, I waited more than two hours to interview with one manager and it was positive; basically she asked me the usual interview questions (ex. Why did you leave your last job, tell me about a time you worked with a difficult coworker). I had to wait three hours for the second interview, with the hiring manager of the area I wanted to work in, and she asked me the exact same questions as the previous manager.
More than an hour later I had my final interview with an HR person...which was done with me feeling queasy because I had not been able to leave the interview area for lunch. I was again asked the exact same questions as in the previous interviews. Signed a bunch of forms about references and background check and a credit check.
An online behavior and personality assessment followed. It took around 30 minutes and quite frankly was insulting for the stupidity. I figured that this hotel did not want people hoping for a good work-life balance, and it seemed like every third question was "Are you a positive person?" (Answer: yes or no). Less than 24 hours after that test, I found out via e-mail I was a reject.
The whole interviewing process and test left a sour taste in my mouth about this hotel's culture and treatment of people.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
I did an internship with Fairmont while I was in school and then apply for a real position after graduation. Since the company knew me already and knew my work style and ability, it didn't take long for the whole hiring process I would say might be one week or two. On the day of interview I spoke with the department head and the division head so total of two interviews. Employees are mostly nice in the company and it's a good place to work.
