I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at 3M (Saint Paul, MN) in Aug 2014
Interview
Pretty lengthy. Full day interview with multiple hiring managers. Be prepared to role play. Some of the role plays are pretty useless and weren't situations you'd encounter. Don't get intimidated.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at 3M (Saint Paul, MN) in Dec 2014
Interview
Phone interview, flew to st. paul minnesota for a day of group interviews. Incredibly difficult and grueling process. Training/hiring team is very informed on how to interview and vet prospects - very difficult but rewarding when i got the job. Presentation in front of hiring team - very nerve racking experience. Went in December during the harsh MN cold - coolest thing ever.
