I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at FedEx (Syracuse, NY) in Jul 2015
Interview
I applied for this position online on the company website. About after two months, they send me an email saying that they want to schedule a phone interview with me. After a week, I had a phone interview for about 40 minutes. During the phone interview, they basically asked all those general behavioral questions. Then, after about three weeks they send me an email and also called me on cell phone saying that they want to do on site interview with me. So, after two weeks they scheduled on site interview at Syracuse, NY. On site interview was about 2 hours long. They paid for plane ticket, hotel, and rental car.

After we finish with the interview questions I was accompanied by an engineer to give a tour of the station at Syracuse, NY. Then, I was asked to drive an hour and half to Binghamton, NY (the station for where I was interviewed for) talk with the senior manager. We had a conversation for about an hour then I left. This was kind of informal conversation. He also gave me tour to the station and explain about the work the engineers do at the station.
One interview m with hiring manager and another manager. Lasted about 1-1.5 hours. Standard behavioral questions and then given 15 minutes to prepare a 5 minute presentation. Topic given on the spot.
Questions were standard and easy behavioral questions. Nothing too technical and too hard. Prepare before the interview and you will be fine. Interviewers were nice and patient with me. They made you feel comfortable.
