I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at John Deere (Moline, IL) in Feb 2012
Interview
Applied online. Got a phone call from HR just confirming I was still interested. Once she realized I was she set up a phone interview with a guy who was currently in their development program. The interview was behavioral questions that lasted about a hour. It was very enjoyable as we had a lot in common. Next, they flew me to HQ in Moline, IL where I had 2 1x1 interviews and a final post interview with the head HR lady where I got to ask questions. After we had the chance to go to HQ and have lunch with 2 people in the development program. They paid for everything. Overall, it was super enjoyable and couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I applied through a career fair and did one behavioral, STAR format interview on campus. Then went to headquarters in Moline, IL and did two interviews, same format.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at John Deere (Waterloo, IA) in Apr 2017
Interview
Two behavioral interviews each an hour long. First one was with an HR representative the second one was my hiring manager or was my actual supervisor. Very broad behavioral style questions. Interviewers were very nice and it was easy to talk to them. They gave you time to speak and didn't really ask anything difficult.
