I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at John Deere (Torrance, CA) in Jan 2011
Interview
Very simple and straightforward. Little to no technical questions, everything based on behavior interview and experience. For every question, be sure to state the situation, what you did to resolve the problem, and what the outcome was. Overall it was a very simple and easy process, just time consuming and can be a bit intimidating when you have 6 people looking at you as you answer questions.

Be clear with words that’s it
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at John Deere
Interview
The interviewer was looking for a full-stack developer, but they shortlisted me despite my experience being only in frontend development. He asked some questions about backend, then abruptly said they were looking for someone with both frontend and backend experience, and ended the call. If that was the requirement, they shouldn't have shortlisted me for the interview in the first place. Overall a very unprofessional experience
