I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at MAERSK (Copenhagen, Capital Region) in Sep 2015
Interview
I applied online and heard back 4 weeks later! I had an email saying I had a telephone interview in the morning at 9am. This could easily have been missed. After a 20 minute phone interview I then had to do tests in Excel where they provided me with the data and I had to answer questions. Once I passed that I was invited in for a face to face interview for 3 hours. To begin with I had to complete psychometric tests then one hour face to face with the hiring manager and a one hour face to face with HR. After this I was emailed personality tests which I had to complete.
When I eventually passed all this I was called back in for a further 45 minute with the hiring managers manager. Here I was being interview about my potential growth within the company. After a general chat he then provided me with 2 case studies which I had to work through out loud. It is a grueling process and I can imagine if you have no passion and enthusiasm for the job you are applying for then you can forget about it.

Why do you want this job
Quick hiring process and feedback loop. Interview took a total of two weeks. Initially meet with hiring manager and have a panel of team members you will be working with. Depending on how quickly the second round can happen, it could be quicker.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at MAERSK (Houston, TX) in Feb 2013
Interview
HR was extremely slow to process applications and schedule interviews. However, the selected interviewers were all excellent and helped give a great description of the position. The interviewers were a great mix of colleagues, direct managers, and senior project leads.
