I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Applied Medical (Rancho Santa Margarita, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
It was a two part interview process.
1st - was a short phone conversation with the hiring manager. Very friendly and brief - covered what Applied Medical does, what the job involved, and what my past experience was.
2nd - onsite interview with a panel of 10 individuals including the hiring manager, other Project Leaders, the Director of Automation, and a Vice President. It was informal but I had a lot of questions. They asked of my background, my past projects, my education and training, etc... With 9 interviewers, there were a lot of different questions from multiple people that I had to answer quickly.

Question 1
The interview questions covered my background, my past projects, my education, a couple of broad technical questions. (They were just trying to see how I worked and my thought processes.)
