I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Hitachi in Nov 2013
Interview
Most of the questions were the run of the mill how much experience do you have, why did you leave your last job, tell me about a problem you solved. I was also asked why I would like to work for Hitachi Medical Systems. Seemed to be a lot of long pauses after answering questions which I thought was odd.
