I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at PTC (Needham, MA) in Apr 2011
Interview
No company standard for interviewing. It is up to the hiring manager/group. After a brief telephone screening, there is a fairly standard, in-person, tech interview lasting about three hours, including speaking with hiring manager for perhaps an hour, then various QA, development, and possibly design team members for thirty minutes each. Not usually multiple rounds of interviews for QA engineers.

Interview
I applied on the PTC Careers website. Within 2 days, I got a call from HR. There was an initial phone interview with HR, and then an in-person interview with HR, and two people on the team. I received a phone call the next day from HR saying that they were working on giving me an offer. Overall a very quick and efficient process.
