I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Walgreens (Boise, ID) in Apr 2016
Interview
The process is a situational interview which asks the applicant to respond to various situations using work experience in current or former roles. The answers are submitted in the STAR format.

Typical situational questions. E.g. Give an example where you changed the mindset of strong personalities.
3 step process which took 6 weeks from initial conversation to offer. Other similar positions tended to take up to 12 weeks.
I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Walgreens (Deerfield, IL) in Jan 2013
Interview
The interview process is quite long. Since this was a director level position there was an initail phone interview with a recruiter, onsite interviews with some key personnel in the hiring decision, then onsite interviews at the actual location of the position in southern Illinois for another round of panel interviews. The process was mostly positive, however there were some mis-steps by the recruiting department on scheduling and some other details for travel accomodations to the interview. One frustration was allowing so many candidates to get so far into the process...if you're currently employed you might risk burning some vacation or time off to accomodate interviews for a position you ultimately don't get. There were no trick questions or other quirky questions about how much you researched or studied the company. Overall a positive experience.

Question 1
Nearly all the questions are taken from an internal interview guide which presents a topic then asks you to recall a specific sitauation and how you handled it. You're left to inject what you want them to know about you through tangents or by answering the question, then talking about other aspects of your skills or qualifications you want them to know.
