Interviewed Aug 2009 (took 3 months)
My phone interview was with HR and the hiring manager, and took place almost two months after my online application. Towards the conclusion of our discussion, the hiring manager said he definitely wanted to continue talking with me, although HR said she still had hundreds of resumes to go through so I wasn't sure if I'd be moved forward. The following week I was invited to take the online assessment, which was extensive. I must have been judged acceptable because the next month they brought me over for 1:1 interviews with the two people I'd already spoken with on the phone plus one potential peer. I thought my day there went really well and was very interested in the company and position, but received a "pursuing other candidates who more closely match" email from the HR contact about ten days later. Then in the fall I saw the same position advertised on Monster again, and tried reaching out to the Hiring Manager to reinvigorate my candidacy. No response to emails or voice messages left with his assistant. Very disappointed I could get no constructive feedback.

Interviewed Feb 2009 (took 3 weeks)
The process was professional, Interview with the HR contact, then testing. Positive results from testing led to being one of three finalists for one on one interview with the divisional president. The president was charismatic. The process was expected. Within one week after the interview, I was advised via e-mail that a candidate with qualifications that better matched the job was selected instead of me. UNTRUE!! 3 weeks after receipt of the declination for the position for which I interviewed, the job reappeared online for all of the cities in which the job was open at a lower status. The job had been downgraded from SR ACCT EXEC to ACCT EXEC with the exact same job description--word for word.
Bottom line, they are trying to save money and hire more junior people at a lower rate.

Interviewed Aug 2007 in Kohler, WI (took 2 days)
They were really big on an online personality test. Did not share results and outcome. Kohler has a big emphasis on 'fitting in' to the community of Kohler WI. Good company if you want to be a 'company man'. Recruiter did a lot of early work to get an insight into my background.
