I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Mattel (New York, NY) in Feb 2013
Interview
Imagine doing your first in-person interviews and being contacted just a couple hours later because they want to bring you in for 2nd round interviews. Sounds great but then the HR coordinator spent the next THREE weeks asking for when I was available and I gave them several days each time. This went on over multiple emails and I couldn't believe that they finally sent me an email saying they were now looking at other candidates! Why would you contact me asking me for interview dates for 2nd rounds and wasting my time to give me an answer like that? Terrible experience and I wouldn't have taken an offer anyways given the lack of follow through and professionalism.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Mattel (London, England) in May 2018
Interview
Ghosted after 8 interviews. So disappointing. I was fully ready to move for the role after meeting with all sorts of team members and feeling it was going well and then nothing.

It was an interview with HR and future management. Needed to solve case study and presentation about hypothetical product launch in english. It was basically an 1:1 interview, no weird questions, no major tests. First with HR, then with 2 more people of the future team, all in 1 day.
