I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Sandia National Laboratories in Sep 2013
Interview
I met the Sandia representatives at the Career Fair on my Campus. I am a PhD student and as soon as I went on explaining my research work, they seemed immediately interested.
They invited me for a first round of interview the very next day. The interview took place in the campus itself.
It was a behavioral interview, and the questions were very much like the STAR format questions. There was nothing unexpected and the guy who interviewed seemed pretty friendly.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sandia National Laboratories (Albuquerque, NM) in Nov 2019
Interview
Technical phone call then a formal two day on site interview with a presentation, closed door question and answer session (mostly behavioral) and lab tour. There was a long wait between the phone screen and the in person interview.
No offer, but emailed personally to deliver the bad news which was a nice thought.
