I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Grainger in Feb 2014
Interview
I applied on the Indiana University Kelley School of Business Job Board, Kelly Connect. I was selected for an on-campus 30 minute interview. The interview was very loosely structured; it felt more like a conversation than an interview. I was given a 3 minute interval to tell him everything Grainger should know about me and we proceeded from there. We covered a few behavioral questions: How have you dealt with a difficult colleague?, How have you handled negative feedback? After about 15 minutes, we switched to a more technical interview discussing product management, lead times, capacity and sourcing requirements.

Question 1
If a company comes to us and wants Product X once a week for a year, what questions would you ask the customer and management to decide whether this product should be purchased once per week or all 52 at once?
I had three different interviews. They are STAR interviews so have to tell about a time when. Know how the Grainger company values aligns, and panel interview. People were nice.
2 behavioral based interviews with a variety of questions getting at motivational fit and problem solving approach. Pick 5 to 6 impactful moments in your schooling or work and spin each story to the question. Final interview round had a case study.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you disagreed with your supervisor and how did you resolve that disagreement?
I had three 45 minute interviews. The interviewers asked behavioral questions and then asked more questions based on my answers so it became more conversational overall. The case study was not too hard either.
