Interviewed Feb 2012 in Brussels (Belgium) (took 4+ weeks)
I applied online on teh company web-site. 2 weeks later a young HR girl has called me on telephone to schedule a telephone interview with a manager. THe interview was scheduled 1,5 weeks after and in fact I was interviewed by 3 managers: 1 HR, 2 from Product Planning. All are men, which is maybe typical for a car industry. :) They went very detailed through my CV not missing even one small detail. To some positions they returned again to ask detailed questions. They tried to find out, if I have ever worked with Excel. As far as I understood, this is an "Excel company", they work a lot with Excel files and analysis.
In the end of interview they asked my salary expectations, per month and netto.
Also asked my availability.
I am waiting for the next round of interviews, in case i will be selected, it will be interview at the European HQ in Brussels. They let me know, it would take up to 3 weeks before they let me know if I am through into the next round.
The conversation was nice and plesant, even though with a huge managers' attention to details.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2+ weeks)
Phone interview followed by interview where I was told a follow up for the next step will come soon. No news, two emails and a phone call to the hiring manager, no reply. I wanted to know where I standed in the process and if they would continue with my file, but they never had the decency to reply.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Ann Arbor, MI (took 3+ weeks)
Received a phone call from a recruiter by applying online. The recruiter set up a 1 hour phone interview with a group of hiring managers. They asked basic questions about my resume along with behavioral questions following the STAR interviewing process. Within a day I was contacted for a second interview to come on site where I gave a presentation in front of a group of 10-15 hiring managers/employees. In addition, I was asked some engineering questions on the dry erase board in front of the group. The whole interview lasted about an hour and then I was taken on a tour of the facility. I received an offer within a few weeks.

Interviewed May 2010 (took 2 weeks)
I applied in person and after some observation and talking with employees I got the impression it was very disorganized. There was one interview and it was informal. I spoke with three different managers (they have too many managers as it is) and although I lacked experience they were willing to hire and train me. I found out after they called me a few days later. I ended up deciding not to take the job because of the disorganization. I figured I could find a better opportunity elsewhere.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Torrance, CA (took 1 week)
Applied online and was contacted by recruiter 4 months later. She asked me basic questions regarding availability etc. I asked her to define the role, she was vague and said I will learn more during the interview. Scheduled interview at headquarters. I asked the recruiter who I would be interviewing, she replied she would not know until the day of the interview (4 days away). In the interim the recruiter contacted me asking me for my contact at a company I had interned for, saying that " another candidate wanted it." I found this odd and somewhat inappropriate, but being eager to cooperate I passed along the info. Arrived at the interview, waited 15 min, Met with 2 ppl in the marketing department. They asked very specific questions, some relevant and other's bizarre, such as "how do you organize your data?" I got the impression they didn't really what the job would entail or types of projects I would be working on. Interviewers were unfriendly and gave little feedback during the interview. I followed up with thank you cards and emails to recruiter and interviewers. Never received the courtesy of a response one way or the other. Overall I was disappointed in the experience, especially the recruiter who asked me for a favor but didn't even respond to my follow up emails.
