I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Promega (Fitchburg, WI) in Aug 2016
Interview
The questions were all definitional questions. Who does that anymore?! I kept getting hounded with questions like "Define xyz. What is the difference between a, b and c" etc. I don't know why they expect anyone to cram definitions of things rarely encountered in your role as a developer! Total waste of my and their time!

I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Promega (Fitchburg, WI) in May 2010
Interview
At the recommendation of a current employee who was a friend, I submitted a resume online. The interviews consisted of a phone screening with HR, a second screening with the non-technical hiring manager, and then in-person interviews with a hiring committee. The committee consisted of the team I would join, the hiring manager, and some other managers that would work closely with the position.
This whole process took several months as there was a long time between each step. The in-person interviews were all in one day, but all together they took about 4 hours.
