I applied online. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (De Zoom) in Sep 2022
Interview
I didn't make it past the first 15 minute screening call. It was short and they asked pretty basic questions about my resume. I've heard that if you get an actual interview though it's helpful to have looked at their website beforehand (because they'll ask you about it)

Application
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2024
Interview
The first round was a 45 minute phone call that asked only questions about resume and behavioral questions. You don't really get to know the interviewer and it is rather robotic.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Robbinsville, NJ) in Sep 2024
Interview
3 interviews prior to being flown out to the campus. On-campus interview consists of 4 interviews, 2 "informal" and 2 "formal". Also included a project overview where you have the opportunity to ask questions.
