Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
Very short phone screen by a 3rd party HR firm.
Then a phone interview with the hiring manager and finally onsite. The onsite was strange.
The hiring manager took me to lunch and we talked a bit about my background then he dropped off to 2 other interviews, both of which asked very little about the job. Most of the discussion from the last interviewer was about behavioral questions. Note: either the hiring manager is very new and/or the company does a poor job of prepping people to interview. He asked questions that were very much on the border of acceptable: do you have kids, will you be selling your current house, how's your wife like the area, etc...

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Morristown, NJ (took 2 months)
Interviewed with 10 people over the course of several months from various professions. Really liked everyone I met and would have stood on my head for my future boss. The final interview was with the company attorney, CFO and HR VP none of whom I would report to. Failed that one apparently and could find out why.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 2 days)
A group of about 20 people were sent to Nashville. The day started with a presentation of the company and site. Next, there were three one on one interviews. Two interviews were HR and the third was technical. About 12 people were conducting interviews so it was difficult to try and chat with each. Overall easy interviews but difficult to make your mark with everyone.

Interviewed May 2011 in Metropolis, IL (took a day)
They flew interested candidates into Nashville for a day of interviews. The morning started off with a brunch with the interviewers. This was followed by a presentation about the company and a 1:1 interview. Lunch was again with the interviewers and this was followed by two more 1:1 interviews. Overall, a great process and experience.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 1+ week)
Recruiter is very competent and complete with each contact. The coordination for the on-site interview was choppy as the HR director kept changing his time for the interview. It was obvious the hiring manager was annoyed by the HR director's actions and poor planning. The on-site interviews went fine except they said they were going to feed me lunch and they didn't.
The site hasn't been updated in at least 20 years. They put no money into their site and apparently their employees. They have poor relations with the union and from my interview with the HR director, it is obvious they want to take as much away from the union as is possible (and what I feel is not reasonable).

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took a day)
The interview went really well. The interviewer had only worked at Honeywell for six months so he kind of struggled when I asked him questions about the company. Most of the interview was composed of behavioral questions but there were general questions as well. The most important questions was the last one. The interviewer asked "What three things have you most appreciated in your college experience and why."

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Pleasant Prairie, WI (took a day)
Initial contact was with an outsourced recruiting agency partnered with Honeywell. Contact was made to arrange the initial interview. I was contacted late afternoon on Friday with a tentitive interview scheduling for the following Wednesday, but it had to be confirmed with the hiring manager. I had to follow up with a phone call early afternoon to confirm as I had not received an itinerary email yet as indicated by the recruiter I should have received over the weekend. Within minutes of my followup phone call I received an email confirming the scheduled interview and associated information.
Upon arriving at the Facility I was greeted by an aweome Receptionist who was extremely busy at the moment due to an overwhelming amount of people coming through the door at the same time. She handled things very well and professionally. After signing in, receiving a pair of safety glasses, and a few instructions I was then greeted by the Hiring Manager. He was very pleasant and walked me through the series of offices to his office. He then offered me some Tea and we proceeded with the interview. I was impresed by him and felt very comfortable discussing my background, experience, and his needs for this position and felt the interview went extremely well. We eemed to be on the same page and the interview turned more informal as we started to get into more details matching the needs of the organization, the situation of the department, and the up coming events and change management. We were scheduled for an hour however we extended it and he took me on an in depth plant tour and discussed more as we went through the plant. As we progressed through the various areas of the plant, he would make it a point to say hello to other associates and point out more opportunities and areas of interest related to the job. He also explained the various matrices and visuals of the "Change Management Plan" that was very visual to all throughout the plant to include pictures and the stages of the planned change in addition to progress. All was explained very well and related very well to why I was there interviewing for this position.
The facility was a newer building and fairly well organized. It definitely had opportunities for better organization and functionality, but that was expected as this was all part of the change that was "in process." I felt I understood completely why I was chosen to interview for the position and felt it would be a good fit given the goals and objectives outlined in our discussion during the interview. I really believe he was up front with me and I was informed of the entire picture and know what I would be getting into if offered the position
As we were making our way to officeentrance to end the interview he stopped for a moment to speak with someone in an office and then asked me to come over and he then introduced me to his Boss.
Overall it was a real pleasurable experience.

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took 6 weeks)
Interaction with recruiter very positive and professional. HR interview positive. Hiring managers had presentations to make after the interview and were distracted and not focused on the interview. Other interviewers were "fluff" - they were selected because there were not enough people available in the office and they had no idea about the position or it's requirements. Overall a negative experience. The interview should have been postponed until the hiring mangers could focus and appropriate peer interviewers were available.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Morristown, NJ (took a day)
This was an in person interviews, I've been interviewed by 6 people, ran about 6 hours, almost no break. It was an awful experience. As each of the interviewer asked almost the same questions, they don't seem they have communicated and splited the questions before meeting with me.

Interviewed Nov 2007 (took 1 week)
After submitting my resume during a college job fair, I was called for a 1 on 1 interview. The interviewer was understanding and very accommodating to my questions. I maintained email contact with this interviewer until I was scheduled for a phone interview with the HR representative of the plant, the lead production engineer and the site manager several weeks later. The phone interview was quick; they told me information about my salary, job expectations and some differences in the types of engineering there. After the phone interview, the site manager, lead production engineer and another engineer took me to lunch, where we talked about the process at the plant. I was then hired and scheduled for a urine drug test. Upon passing, I was a full time employee.
