I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at GSK in Jun 2008
Interview
Behavioral Interviews - So called high performance behaviors. You will answer multiple questions such as "Tell us about a time when X was bad and you did Y to change it - what did you do and what was the result"
You will know if you got the job before they start asking questions. You will know if they are soft-pitching you. I've interviewed for multiple internal jobs and before the interview they're either your best buddy or they don't know you. Usually you're interviewing just to prove you're not an idiot.
Beware - if you are liked, there is a tendency to oversell the job - tell you that you will be the "Global Strategic Intergalactic Associate Director of International Business" and so on. Ask GSK questions, specific questions about the job. Or you may be frustrated.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when a leader/superior was doing something wrong and you took action. What did you do and what was the result?
The interview process was pretty typical and I had good interactions with everyone that I spoke to, whether it was on the phone or an in person interview though it has been a few years since I did it
Everyone was well prepared, and it was a great opportunity to meet many people on the team. I went through several rounds of interviews with different small groups of interviewees.

Question 1
I was asked about specific policy issues and about how I would respond in different work situations.
Initial call with HR with motivations for positions, reasons for wanting to join GSK with some detail on role and benefits. Fast turnaround with subsequent call the next week for first round with the team.
