I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at John Deere (Waterloo, IA) in Feb 2019
Interview
I applied online, received an email prompting me to apply to a different position. I ended up applying to that position, and two weeks later got an email to set up a phone interview. This phone interview was a very standard interview asking about me and some behavioral questions. 30 minutes after the interview, I was send an email saying they wanted to fly me out to their headquarters the following week. All the candidates ate breakfast together and then each was given their schedule for interviewing. The interview involved a panel interview with my prospective engineering manager that involved STAR type questions, a meeting with HR, and a shop tour/informal interview with a manufacturing engineer. About a week later, an offer was sent.
