I applied online. The process took 5+ months. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble (Cincinnati, OH) in Feb 2011
Interview
The initial step was the online application. Immediately following this, I took a personality assessment which consisted of several hundred questions. After this, there was a quick reasoning test. Fairly straightforward, just pay attention. A month or two after that, I got a call about doing a phone interview. A few weeks later, I did the phone interview and aced it - it's very typical situational leadership/personality questions. A few weeks later, I got asked to come up for a day visit. At the day visit, I was given a more rigorous IQ type test followed by a panel interview with two senior scientists. Just be sure to nerd out and don't be afraid to go into excruciating detail into what you know. After that was a drug test and that's it. An offer was made that very day before I left.

The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Procter & Gamble (Brussels)
Interview
Two interviews with different people but similar questions on the same day. Good sensing for personality and inclusive behaviour. Long waiting time between meeting and decision making but at the end worth it.

Question 1
How could you team up with different nationalities ?
I interviewed at Procter & Gamble (Hunt Valley, MD)
Interview
The interview lasted most of the day, meeting with about 6 people. It was a long day, but it was a good opportunity to meet with many of the different people I would be workign with.
Multiple series of online tests, 1 written exam, then 3 rounds of interviews with HR, Hiring Manager then Assistant Director. No presentations on final thesis required unless phd holder or scientist position.
