I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Covidien (North Haven, CT) in Apr 2010
Interview
20 minute phone interview which went well. followed by 1/2 day of interviewing with four people. nothing too tricky here. they reasonably outlined what the job was about and their expectations. my background was in design of equipment rather than project management of new equipment.. i think that is why no offer was made. expect long time lapses between application/ phone interview/ on site interview.

Question 1
how to meet project schedules that were next to impossible.
no interview needed since I knew the hiring manager and knew the domain. So hired directly without interview process. i maintained relationships with the hiring manager and others. no interview needed since I knew the hiring manager and knew the domain.
