Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 6 weeks)
+ Rigorous process consisting of: recruiter phone screen, HR phone screen, phone call with hiring manager, one-day office visit (which consisted of interviews with senior HR person and various VPs).
+ Interviews were about 60% behavioral/situational, 40% other; the interviewers were scripted to some extent, but willing to go "off-script" to explore by background
+ HR interview was the most challenging; at SB&D, HR is a strategic business partner for the other functions, and the senior HR folks are smart, business-savvy people
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Didn't want to or need to negotiate base salary; as an experienced professional, wanted 3 weeks of vacation, and was able to get it quite easily. Advice? As with any opportunity, make sure you interview THEM. Assess the fit carefully. Understand the organization structure - is it something new that they are experimenting with, or is it somewhat stable?
Other Details

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 5 months)
I don't think I've ever dealt with such an unprofessional company before. HR is unorganized and slightly unethical. I would never want to work for this company. This interview made it clear that the company was very different than what they were portraying.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 3 days)
it was an average interview over 3 separate days. in total i met with probably nine to eleven individuals ranging from upper management to engineers. the only thing tough about these types of multi day interviews is that you need to be "on" the entire time. you often find yourself repeating yourself to different people and it's easy to mix up whom you've already told what to.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 2 months)
The company is very friendly and will often times have a table at larger college career fairs. They usually have an information session that outlines career paths and opportunities. They will tell you about how you get a company truck that you don't pay a thing for...including gas. After 1-2 first round interviews often times on campus, they will call you to invite you to final round interviews in Towson, MD. They tend to take a long time to get back to you throughout the process. At final round interviews you'll be around people that magically are all just like you! They have a talent for finding type A people.

They basically give you an offer and that's it. They will try to put you in a city you ask for but don't count on it!
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 5 days)
Applied online for the Territory Manager position a few months back and never recieved a response. I noticed the job kept appearing on my searches and re-applied. Within a day or so of re-applying a recruited contacted me and held a quick phone interview. He was very easy to talk with and made me feel at ease. After our chat, he suggested I would be a good fit and would pass my info on to the hiring manager for a formal face-to-face interview. He contacted me a few days later and scheduled a time/location for an interview.
The interview process was unique in the face he didn't ask the standard questions and we just talked. The company sounded like a great opportunity and the position matched well with my experience.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 3 weeks)
I got the interview through campus recruiting and the first interview was with two current employees at Stanley Black & Decker who had both recently graduated from my university. The majority of the questions were behavioral, except for one technical question regarding Net Working Capital.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 2 days)
The interview process was very good. They did a thorough phone interview first and then I went in for a face to face interview with the hiring manager and peer. The people in the office seemed very nice and I felt at ease.
