Interviewed Feb 2009 in Saint Joseph, MI (took 2 weeks)
The first contact was from an internal talent acquisition person who seemed to be responsible for the initial high level screening of candidates. During the first phone conversation, he asked general questions to clarify information on my resume pertaining to experience. He also, provided some level of detail of the open position for which he thought I would be a good candidate. The next step in the process was phone interview with the hiring manager. This hour long interview consisted of more detailed questions regarding my professional experience. The next step was an all day interviewing process where I interviewed with 7 teams of two people each for an hour. My perception of the people was that they were very proud of working at Whirlpool and they all said they company treats its employees well. Overall, it was a very pleasant interviewing experience. The process allows the candidate to get to know the company and people while they are assessing your qualifications. My advice is to just be yourself and know several specific accomplishments from past experience.

Interviewed Feb 2009 (took a day)
Well organized as recruiter provided "practice" run before. Questions were similar to those mentioned by the recruiter. Met with 3 different groups, 1 interested in personality traits, 1 technical skills, 1 work experience & career goals. They seemed less interested in your work results and more interested in how you were able to achieve those results individually. Utilizing team building did not seem like a strong point
to them but rather individual assertiveness was what they are really looking for "apparently".

Unfortunately, Whirlpool's interview process is just about the only thing Whr HR does well - typically very organized and well-handled. Interviews usually start at 9am with HR first followed by the hiring manager and would-be/future peers - 4-5 interviews would be average. Each interviewer is assigned two areas to focus on - and each of those areas is also shared by another interviewer to ensure balance. 9 our of 10 interviews are standard interview-type questions.
