Interviewed May 2011 in Hunt Valley, MD (took 1 week)
The interview was somewhat relaxing and informal. It took place in the presence of my potential managers and some engineers on the conference call.
People were kind and nice. They tried to make me feel comfortable. It surprisingly didn't feel like an interview. More like a personality test. They seemed to try to see where my interest lies, which is a very rare case for an interview processes.
The interview process was simple. I got an email and a phone call to schedule an on-site interview. I went there. We talked in a setting described above. The interview process was simple technical questions and personality test sorts.

Interviewed May 2011 in Sparks, MD (took 7 weeks)
Thorough but slow process. I applied on-line for several HR Director roles and was contacted for a phone screen. They have a centralized HR-Recruiting team and seem to not rely much on contract recruiters. Phone interview was great and I was invited out for a day of interviews. Had the chance to interview with senior leaders within the hiring function and from client groups. Provided a good feel for the company and the culture. They scheduled me to meet with an Industrial Psychologist for a half day interview and a battery of tests. It took longer than it should have (from my perspective) to coordinate this. Even after the date was set I had to remind them to coordinate travel arrangements for me (they forgot).
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
After all the interviews and assessments I was offered a lesser job than the one I interviewed for. I was told that the role I interviewed for was filled with an internal candidate and wouldn't have been a good point of entry into the company any way. I politely declined citing that I was currently working for a company in the same industry that was 4x their size and had already done the equivalent of the role they offered several years before at my current employer. Their story changed and suddenly the original role was open again but without a good explanation. As a seasoned HR executive it was at that point I knew it was time to walk away. If a Recruiting team can't handle a senior level search for it's own function than to me that says something about the HR function overall. I've since been promoted at my current employer.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 5 days)
Great HR Department at McCormick that screens the applicants well.
Interview was great, friendly managers that are excited to grow the company.
Phone interview was great.
1:1 Interview was to the point.
Talked about goals, experience, and what I would bring to McCormick not only as a worker, but as a person.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 3 months)
Applied online and was contacted by sr hr person for phone interview. It went off great. She told me that someone from the regional office will contact to schedule next phone "discussion". Got a call, discussed for about 45 min and scheduled to meet head of different departments for interview and presentation. All presentation went off excellent. In the end I was told that, your are an excellent candidate for this job. Before we extend an offer, our corporate sales head would call you..this will just a formality. Month went past by, but no call. Called the hr, no response..finally many days later they say the position has been cancelled. But we are now looking for entry level candidate for the same job, ..the last time I checked..the new job opening had same requirements / role!
