I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at L'Oréal
Interview
Submitted resume online and received an email/phone call the next day. Participated in 2 phone interviews that weren't too difficult and informed me more about the job. I then traveled two separate times to participate in on-site interviews that included a multitude of exercises including case studies and presentations. I thoroughly enjoyed the process although the second visit I had to wait over an hour in between sessions. I was also never given a plant tour which I found odd.
What made me lose my interest was the waiting period. This entire process from start to finish took 2 and a half months. My waiting period after my final interview was over a month. Due to this long waiting period, I was forced to look elsewhere for other opportunities.

Interview
Applied for the job online and heard back and was scheduled for interviews. It was 2 interviews and both went well. they are very efficient. The timeline was quick and they were transparent about the process.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at L'Oréal (Franklin, NJ)
Interview
I received a call from HR about my resume. I applied for another position but they thought I was a fit for a position they had available. HR explained the position and asked me a few questions about my degrees, experience, etc. Not in much detail.
Offered to schedule a phone interview for the next day for about 30 mins. Again I was asked about my experience, education, why I wanted to leave my current position, why am I interested in the position, etc.
From there scheduled a panel interview for the next week. It consisted of 3 parts: Presentation about myself (resume and a project that I completed at work/ school), a panel interview and then a case study (about on the job work which is done by someone in the dept you would be working in).
