I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Extron Electronics (Raleigh, NC)
Interview
Contrary to most of the reviews on this site, I had a great interview experience. A recruiter contacted me on linked in and referred me for the position. After initial contact, it only took a few days to schedule the interview, and even less time for the company to reach a decision about whether or not they were interested in hiring me. Coming from an academic setting, that was an incredible difference. I had two interviews, one with a product manager and a subsequent one with an HR representative and I found both individuals to be very nice and reasonable. I didn't feel set up with any "gotcha" types of questions.
