I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr in Nov 2009
Interview
They didn't tell me what position I was interviewing for until I got there. Then they did various one-on-one interviews throughout the day. They took me on a walking tour of their facilities and interviewed me along the way. Everybody was very nice, but I was more interested in an engineering type position.

Question 1
In simple terms, how does a plane stay in the air?
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.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Cleveland, OH)
Interview
phone interview after submitting my resume. A friend works there and warned me about the process. McMaster is set in THEIR ways. The phone interview was one of the most odd interviews I've ever experienced. I said something that she didn't want to hear. Maybe it was the tone of my voice. Who knows, I certainly don't.
