I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Kerry (Clark, NJ) in Jan 2013
Interview
The hiring and interview was pretty straightforward. Myself, personally, was interviewed 3 times. One on the phone, one at the hiring plant, and one at the headquarters. The phone interview was somewhat similar to the STAR format. After the general questions, it was all casual and very friendly just to get to know me. The 2nd interview was at the hiring plant where I met the hiring manager and the plant manager. It was also pretty casual, reading off the resume and asking questions. For the third interview, they actually flew me out to Wisconsin to interview with some of the upper management. All expenses were paid. I met with a few of the senior managers and it was mostly another casual interview to get a feel for my knowledge and experience.
There were multiple one on one interviews. One was a typical HR style interview, and others included going through your resume as well as describing the job. Very open to asking questions, in fact encouraged.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Kerry (Glasgow, Scotland) in Jan 2018
Interview
There was first an online assessment followed by an online interview and then a final on site interview. The final interview had 3 parts to it, a group exercise, presentation, and final interview.

I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Kerry (Tralee) in Dec 2017
Interview
There was an application form, then an online test, then a video interview then an assessment centre. The assessment centre was pretty standard and just involved conducting a presentation, a group exercise and a one on one interview. Not really much else to report other than that I didn't get offered the job in the end.
