I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Direct Supply (Milwaukee, WI) in Feb 2012
Interview
They schedule for a 5 hour interview once you get past the phone interivew. MIne was scheduled to be a personality test followed by 3 seperate interviews with two people each, finished with shadowing the job. The questions we weird, nothing I've ever been asked during an interview. "Tell me about a skill you don't have." "Tell me about a time you didn't satisfy a customer's needs." They were set questions so the flow was weird as well. They asked me which computer skills I was good at and I went on and on about how I was excellent at Excel...then probably 3 questions later they asked "Tell us how you are with Excel."
With the weird questions there were awkward pauses and I know I hadn't done well. After the first interview the second interview was the same weird, read-off questions (and someone who "forgot to print off a copy of my resume" so remember to bring a resume). They seemed so uninterested me, they might as well have been rolling their eyes right in front of me. I know someone else said this too but this is when they cut the interview short. My third interviewer and the girl who I would shadow for an hour got called into an "important meeting".
They walked me back to the front desk and said "We'll let you know within a week" while barely turning around. I unsurprisingly got a call exactly 7 days later saying they were not moving forward.
Overall a very weird interview and once they weren't interested they were pretty rude and had no problem letting me know.

Interview
Like others have said it is a very lengthy process, but moves quickly. The initial recruiter call for me lasted an hour which my recruiter mentioned her calls are usually 30 mins, but because I qualified for multiple positions it took longer to explain each role which I appreciated.
The next step was 4 half hour interviews with managers or higher ups in the department. I then had another additional 30 mins interview to determine between roles that I would be a fit for. After that I had 4 more half hour interviews. The process lasted about 3 weeks. A lot of repetitive questions, but I enjoyed speaking with everyone I met.

I had three rounds of interviews, each including multiple interviews with 1-3 people. Very intensive process but also shows they are serious about finding the best match. I also had to do the Wonderlic exam.
