I applied through other source. I interviewed at Intertek (Hamilton, ON)
Interview
First contacted by email and an interview was scheduled. During the interview, I was interviewed by the Branch Manager and the Lab Manager. The branch manager wanted individuals with the chemistry background, the people who have knowledge of the science.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Intertek (Austin, TX) in Feb 2015
Interview
Very straightforward, quick interview. Mainly consisted of basic questions, a tour of the lab, and a second set of questions. Interview was over in less than half an hour. I only met my direct manager, and did not meet any other employees
The hiring process consists of filling out an application and/or submitting a resume online via the company website. As with many other companies, it helps (although not imperative) to know someone on the inside. In some cases they will already know the candidate they intend to hire, but you may get an interview anyhow. The interview is more of a tour of the facility and general conversation than an interview. I would suggest doing some research and coming up with some questions that would lend the interviewer to believe that you have some experience or at least some insight as to what the job entails.

Question 1
In my experience there were no difficult, unexpected, or situational questions.
