I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Aramark (Philadelphia, PA) in Feb 2011
Interview
Competency based interviews that deal with 1 question - tell me about a time when.... Then the interviewer has you tell and re-tell the story, probing for what the thought process behind each step was.
Not a bad process but can be limiting if you don't choose the right scenario.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Aramark
Interview
Long process. Utilized internal recruiter who was very friendly and offered good information. Really wants you in the interview process. 1 phone interview and met with 3 people in person. Not difficult interviews, but that depends on the person interviewing. I was a referral.
They do use key word software and when I was hiring 300+ resumes but offered only 5 resumes to view.
