I applied through college or university. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2012
Interview
Long day and interview with 4 different people. Asked some tough questions that I had to think out and answer. They keep digging for more even if you have given them many different answers to the question. Get a good nights sleep because it is a longggg day.

Mostly behavioral, 30 minutes. Begins by explaining the interviewers experience in the role and company. They describe the company culture and career progression. Opportunity to expand on your resume and contributions during your college or professional career. Not technical, care more about curiosity and passion. Final minutes are left open for questions about the interviewer or company.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Cleveland, OH)
Interview
phone interview after submitting my resume. A friend works there and warned me about the process. McMaster is set in THEIR ways. The phone interview was one of the most odd interviews I've ever experienced. I said something that she didn't want to hear. Maybe it was the tone of my voice. Who knows, I certainly don't.
