I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2013
Interview
There were three phases overall to the interview process. I had one first round at my university and was then contacted for a second round by the local hr rep again at my university. The third round took place at the branch I requested to be employed at and was a day long event.

Made it past phone call screening and had a one-on-one chat with a current manager before final round of interviews. Each round was 45 minutes to an hour long and questions were difficult. Have lots of examples ready. Have different answers ready for similar questions.

Interview
The interview process was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. I really appreciated that the discussions were fully behavioral, allowing me to naturally draw on my past experiences. Furthermore, the company truly goes out of its way to treat you like a VIP throughout the entire visit, covering a remarkably nice hotel stay and providing a generous stipend to ensure you are completely comfortable.
