I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Emerson (Cluj-Napoca) in Sept 2011
Interview
The interviews at Emerson may take 2 months; a minimum of 3 interviews are a common thing: the HR interview, the local manager, the remote/foreign manager.
Because I was out of town and they really have seen me already at other interview (that I didn't take) I only went once.
The company tries to pay as small as possible, negotiation is very welcome; but keep in mind that the raise afterwards are a percent from the first salary, so if you accept a small salary you will always get small raises.
