I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Toyota North America (State College, PA) in Feb 2015
Interview
I went to a university career fair and talked to the recruiter at the Toyota booth. He called me later in the day to inform me that they wanted to interview me on campus.
The interview consisted of the recruiter I met at the career fair, as well as another female recruiter. During the interview, they mostly asked me to explain some things from my resume. They also asked why I wanted to work at Toyota. The questions were not hard.

I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Toyota North America (Portland, OR) in Dec 2024
Interview
First interview online screening, second interview in-person 1 on 1 chats with staff across sales, marketing, management, and more. My second interview was 2 days: 1st was the 1 on 1s, 2nd was a day in the field shadowing a 'Field Traveler', where we drove hours to a Dealership to do a check-in with them and then drove back to the office. According to the Field Traveler, the day in the field was not a normal practice for interviews.
there were five hour long interviews with two - four different people per interview. the interviews were mostly conversational and centered around getting to know my values, interests, and people skills.
3 interviews in the hiring process. 1st one is a panel interview with 4 people than it gets more personal and smaller with conversations with company mangers. Overall well set-up process.
