I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Darden (Orlando, FL) in Jan 2015
Interview
They take their recruitment process pretty seriously, investing the amount of time necessary to learn about each candidate they contact. It takes a little while, but they're courteous along the way and always keep you updated. The recruiter contacted me via email and we had a phone screening a few days later. She had me take a skills assessment and then after a few days she invited me to interview in person at a later date. In-person interviews were 2 hours, very organized, and they are extremely welcoming.

Interview
The initial process was fairly short and straight forward: school, prior work experience, and why Darden. I previously worked for them during undergrad, so I included that in my conversation which was a bonus.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Darden (Orlando, FL) in Oct 2009
Interview
Received a quick response to my resume submission asking for a phone interview, which was scheduled for two days out.
During the phone screen and subsequently, Interaction with recruiter was "off" from the beginning; s/he was not very personable and thus hard to read. (Definitely caused me to be a little more nervous!)
Had in-person interviews with appx. four people before taking a series of tests and concluding the interview.
Followed up with letters to each interviewer.
