I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Rain Bird (San Diego, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
Was called for a phone interview, then a panel interview. The panel was made up of managers from different projects, and different viewpoints, as well as the Hiring Manager. I brought along some concrete examples of the kinds of things they were looking for. That seemed to help a great deal.
