I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Nestlé (Columbus, OH) in Mar 2012
Interview
Started with an HR phone interview. Then spoke to the other product development scientists, ended with a skype interview. All in all it was pretty straight forward and the questions they asked were expected and of moderate difficulty . The skype interview was a little nerve racking because I had never done one before, but it went very smoothly.
