I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Johnson & Johnson in Jan 2013
Interview
Only got an initial phone interview (mid-January). It was conducted by a Human Resources employee and was purely vetting me for a first cut. The interview went well and I was told to expect a follow-up interview within the next 2-3 weeks. After 2 weeks, I tried to email and call my interviewer and could only leave messages. Finally, in late February I got an email stating that the process was ongoing and I was still being considered. That was the last I would hear until late June when they sent an automated email stating I was no longer being considered. I sort of guessed after 6 months I wasn't getting the job. Really unprofessional all the way around.

Only one open-ended question and it concerned my best accomplishment. Very easy, straight-forward initial interview.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Johnson & Johnson
Interview
I had an interview scheduled at JSM in August, I was reached out by HR in October to inform me about a job opening. After applying, I received an phone call from HR for screening. After 2-3 weeks, I had an interview with someone senior (30 min on my experience in general). After 2-4 weeks, I had another interview (30 presentation) with four senior statisticians. Total is 1 hr. They asked a lot of questions. Final decision was made after 3 weeks (holiday season might caused delay).

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Johnson & Johnson (Hyderābād)
Interview
The interview process was smooth and the interviewers were ready to answer any questions over multiple calls. The only downside was that the overall process took over 2 months time which is not the best for someone looking for a quick change in job.

Question 1
Why would you use Bayesian statistics over frequentist?
Some one-on-one panels with senior managers. One seminar where you present your past research or work. They will mainly judge how you explain Statistics for non-Statisticians. Overall smooth interview process and quick decisions.
