I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Honeywell (Kansas City, MO) in Feb 2013
Interview
Talked to employees at an on-campus job fair about Honeywell and what they do. After giving my resume they invited me to sign up for a potential interview at the campus. I was called the next day and an interview was scheduled for the following week. At the interview, I was asked simple but detailed behavioral questions. The interview went well and I was told that if a positive decision was made I would be contacted for an on-site interview. About a week or so later a recruiter contacted me and an interview was scheduled at the new Kansas City facility. I received confirmation emails that included an application to be filled out by hand and, since they are a defense contractor, a release to allow them to investigate me for a high-level security clearance.
This interview took most of the day. Arrive at 7:30 AM with about 20 other potential candidates. After a review of the process and videos about KC and Honeywell we were all taken to a large room where tables had been placed with placards with our names on them. Then it was kind of like speed-dating. Several mangers came in and interviewed candidates using behavioral questions and your interests etc. After 20 minutes, a woman called time. After a short break, they rotated till the managers had a chance to speak with each of us.
After this, a box-lunch was provided and a security interview was given in a private room to determine if you could qualify for a high-level "Q" clearance.
Typical behavioural questions but you will drift off a lot. The recruiters like to make normal conversation in between questions so expect casual talk. Will also talk about the different aspects of honeywell.

Question 1
When was a time you faced criticism and how did you deal with it.
A first round interview with the hiring manager and some light technical questions (all ME fundamentals - beams, heat transfer etc.). There was then a long online quiz. First there were a bunch of reading comprehension Qs, with wording designed to trip you up. the second portion was a click-thru word association test that lasted 45 minutes.

Interview
A very good interview process. Spoke directly with people on the team I was interested in. They were thoughtful and asked direct questions relating to my experience. They were thoughtful, considerate of my time, and helped me see how my experience and expertise could fit in with their team.
