I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Daikin (Verona, VA) in Mar 2013
Interview
Went through temp agency. Had an interview with the HR manager. Then had face to face interview with two HR managers. Then had an interview with a Production Manager. Then was offered a job. Was told that I would get hired and have benefits within 60 days. Never happened. This company definitely does not care about people, only numbers.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Daikin

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Daikin (Decatur, AL)
Interview
Phone interview with hiring manager, then wait a month and do an in person panel interview with peers and then management, then wait another month and do a second interview with the plant manager, another panel interview with your peers, and another panel interview with managers. If you make it to the second round of panel interviews you are hired unless you just totally screw up somehow.

Question 1
Not really any curve balls. you have been pretty well vetted by the time you get to the panel interviews and they basically just ask for you to run through your resume and then ask about your priorities (Safety first)
