Interviewed Jun 2010 in El Segundo, CA (took 2 days)
Overall Mattel seemed like a great company to work for since it was in Fortunes Top 100 Companies to Work For b/c of their tuition reimbursement programs, baby sitting program, etc. But once I walked through the door I just was not comfortable. I did not feel welcomed by the first person that interviewed me. He was a tech guy and was sizing me up which I did not appreciate. Also, there were two people that were supposed to interview me that did not show up to work on that day which was a bit unprofessional. Overall, I only got good vibes from one VP in HR but I did not come there to work for her so overall it did not work out. I do not think that the HR person that screened me did a good job b/c it was clear to me as soon as the first guy interviewed me that it was not a good fit.

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took 2 weeks)
It was a relatively quick process. Once I submitted my resume, I received a call within the day, and was invited for an in-person interview shortly afterwards. I received an offer within 3 days of my on-site interview

Interviewed May 2009 in El Segundo, CA (took 4+ weeks)
The interview process was not long. First had an on campus interview (behavioral) then an on-site interview which was with three different people and was a little more technical. All-in-all it was a decent process.

Interviewed Oct 2007 in New York, NY (took 4 weeks)
First I was contacted by email. Since I was out of the country but was coming back a few weeks later they were very accomodating and set up a date that was right for me. First I was interviewed by the person who would have been my manager, then two of the would-be colleagues came and explained my role, and then I had another interview with Human Resources. They contacted me back about two weeks later with a negative response.
