I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Bose (Framingham, MA) in Feb 2011
Interview
I submitted a resume through a referral, and heard back from HR 2 weeks later. They scheduled an HR phone screen then a phone screen with the manager. Then, they game me an assignment and brought me in to do a presentation of the work. Then I interviewed with 4 individuals live, and 2 on the phone. The whole process took about 4 months.
