Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied through college or university. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Hormel
Interview
Applied and took 4 weeks for phone interview day, probably 2 weeks in between that when they requested phone interview. Typical behavioral questions. Asked same day in email for formal interview. That formal interview happened 3 weeks after that. They like to take their time in spacing out interviews. The formal interview required driving around to 3 separate locations and they aren't in order of how close they are from each other, so make sure to just drive around the day before the interview so you don't feel crunched for time. Very professional, very prepared company.
