I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Emerson in Oct 2012
Interview
I applied on their website approx July 2012, and received a call around Sept. I was asked some questions on the phone (Are you still interested?) and was set up with an on site interview in Oct. At my interview, I was asked Lominger competency questions by the HR recruiter, dept mgr, and VP of Eng. It was very short (the interview process took about 2 hours).

Question 1
Since being hired, I've learned about what the Lominger competencies are, but when I went to interview, I was very surprised the whole interview was designed around asking me questions about soft skills. Ex: Describe a time where you made a mistake. What did you do to overcome it?
30 minute phone interview with TA initially. 30 minute phone interview with Hiring Manager. 3-4 hours in person interview with one on one with 4 managers. Once the in person interview with managers was over I heard back in 3-4 days with job offer.

.It was thorough and thought-provoking; surprised by the industry initiative questions. I didn't realize the overall effect on the industry as a whole. It wasn't that long. average length of interview
