The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at James Hardie Building Products (Fontana, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
Initially first level HR called and did a phone interview. Second had a video recorded interview. Then had a F2F interview with 6 people, 3 at a time 1 hour a piece. These were with an HR hiring manager as well as other managers and engineering personal. Last I had a phone interview with the director of engineering for the R&D department. This was because he was away for a review event in Chicago.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at James Hardie Building Products
Interview
Phone screen with company recruiter, phone screen with recruiting manager, wonderlic test, personality test, phone screen with hiring manager, 2-4 onsite interviews with groups of 3-6 managers/supervisors/engineers, and a token plant tour. The process is standard for bigger companies. You don't know you are wasting your time until you interview with a panel consisting of managers. I met management personnel from multiple plants and there was at least one executive with a confrontational attitude from each.
