I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BMW Portland (Portland, OR) in Feb 2012
Interview
At the time of my hiring, I was only the third person my manager had put through the new corporate hiring process. It was a little bumpy, but I'm pretty understanding. I had to do a phone interview, an online application, I went in and dropped off a paper application and a resume, came in for a face to face with my manager and would have seen the GM too, but had to come back another time when he was free for an interview with him. Finally, after being hired, I had to come in to take a test, fill out paperwork, and then go do a drug screen.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The GM was the most difficult part for me. He was intense and I could tell he was enjoying making me feel nervous. I can't recall exactly what he asked, but it was all pretty standard. My hiring manager did a good job of preparing me for that meeting.
