Application
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Freeport-McMoRan (Deming, NM) in Jan 2015
Interview
Very long, dealt with HR for 3 months before the on site interview
Oddly, only about 3 technical questions which I hit out of the ball park. There seemed to be no point in further questions. The rest (about 6 hours long) dealt with supervisory skills and attitudes to see how I would be a fit in the organization.

Started out with recording a 5 question response video online after applying 3 weeks earlier, then about 1-2 weeks later online interview with 4 senior engineers occurs. After about 1-2 weeks an on-site interview was scheduled that lasted about 5 hours. The expected response time for rejection or acceptance was two weeks at most. I received an offer in about three business days
