Interviewed Nov 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
The recruiters hold information sessions where brand managers speak about their division and marketing strategy. These brand managers may also give these presentations at marketing classes at their alma mater. Ultimately, the brand managers who attended your university are the ones who interview you.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 6 weeks)
Very uncoordinated. HR was very nice, but process was not handled well. Travel arrangements were a wreck. Interview lasted 5 hours - through lunch - without a break.

Interviewed May 2011 in East Longmeadow, MA (took 2 weeks)
There were a few phone interviews with various people from the corporate office, and then from my supervisor. I also had to be drug tested (they cut a piece of my hair) and had a background check completed. It was a very thorough process, and at times it seemed like it was never going to end. I was doing phone interviews back and forth with all sorts of different people. I eventually was offered the job and accepted the position.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 2 months)
After applying online I had an initial phone screen that led to an interview with the hiring manager and his peers. The role required specific language skills and background in supply chain. Having explained that I meet all the requirement over the phone with direct question and answers. I was invited to participate in a face-to-face interview in 2 weeks. I spend a full day in the face-to-face interview and walked away with a good feeling. I followed up with HR 3 times over the next 2 weeks only to get a phone call from the hiring manager who I had to track down and ended up getting told that they are changing the focus of the role and are looking at new candidates. I would warn anyone to be careful with the lack of leadership and focus.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
Applied online, and received a request for interview 1-2 weeks later. First there was a 40-minute phone interview, followed by an on-site interview 2 weeks later. I was asked to prepare a 5-10 minute presentation on a topic of my choice, and I interviewed with rotations of 1-3 people at a time for a 2-hour period. One week after the on-site interview, I received an offer.
