The process took 5 days. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Cleveland, OH) in Aug 2011
Interview
I had an initial phone interview and was told that the next week I would hear back. I heard back the next day asking to visit their office and have a series of interviews. The interviews were very random and seemed a bit disorganized. They had other managers interviewing me about anything from my resume, to current events, to what my ideal job would be disregarding the position at McMaster Carr. It did not seem that they had a set system, it was more of if you could pass each individuals own test.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Can you tell me about the impact of the large amounts of spending done by the US Government.
Lots of rounds of interviews then ghosted at the very end in person interview. Pretty normal questions but very repetitive. Flew me out for the final interview and took me to lunch which was nice

Question 1
Tell me about yourself, what did you do at this role etc etc
Mostly behavioral, 30 minutes. Begins by explaining the interviewers experience in the role and company. They describe the company culture and career progression. Opportunity to expand on your resume and contributions during your college or professional career. Not technical, care more about curiosity and passion. Final minutes are left open for questions about the interviewer or company.
