I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Eaton (State College, PA) in Oct 2014
Interview
I applied for the interview through a university website. The interview was on-campus, my sophomore year. It was my first interview ever, so I was quite nervous. They seemed to have about 20 students interviewing, which the engineer that interviewed me continued to remind me of. The initial interviewer was an HR female, she was quite nice and informative. She was sociable which helped me relax.
The second part of the interview was with an electrical engineer of the company. He was short and didn't seem very interested in the interview. I felt he was not pleased with the things I was saying because he would would just shake his head and move on, which seemed to fluster me. He continued to tell me "whatever happens after the interview keep doing what you're doing and you'll find a great career" which made it obvious to me he was not interested.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Eaton in Dec 2014
Interview
Filled out online application, including uploading resume and cover letter. Was contacted a month later to determine an interview date. Four interviews total, one with human resources, one with two product engineers, one with the hiring manager, and one with the master engineer. All questions were based on a behavioral interviewing style. No technical questions.
