I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Toyota North America (Rochester, NY) in Sept 2013
Interview
I spoke with a representative at a campus career fair and they scheduled a formal one on one interview for the next day. I was informed it would be a STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) formatted interview. There were about 5 or so STAR formatted questions. The interview lasted about 30 minutes. I was offered a position on the spot and had a week to send in my decision.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Toyota North America in Apr 2022
Interview
They used the STAR format, so if you got that brochure do exactly what it advises to. Overall nice interviewer and good experience, but I didn’t get any response afterwards so idk.
I applied through university. I interviewed at Toyota North America (Columbus, OH) in Jan 2018
Interview
Spoke at a an on campus career fair the day before and was invited for an interview the next day. Interview was about 30 mins. Started with "about me" questions and then moved to 2 STAR behavioral questions. Interview itself was smooth, but I never heard back after multiple follow up emails, despite my peers hearing back the next day (both offers and rejections). Overall disappointed with the lack of a response.

Interview
My school had a career fair, I spoke to the recruiters there and they offered me an interview the next day at my school. I interviewed with an HR and an engineer.
Not part of the interview process, however my buddy also had an interview there as well, after me. Since I already have an internship, I told him what they were going to ask and what to expect and he received the position.
