I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Promega in Dec 2010
Interview
Applied through website, called by HR to do a preliminary phone screen, the following week had a phone interview, then had another phone interview the following week. The phone interview questions ranged from reasons for applying to Promega, reasons for interest in this position, to technical questions about scientific knowledge.
Traveled to Madison to interview with groups of people and individuals. It was a long day, however it is very informative. The work seemed stimulating and the people were very nice, even when asking difficult questions.

Interview
Excellent. Full attention to detail. Many people interview you. They treat you with respect, offer a lunch and provide you with a meaningful feedback.They test for technical and behavioral skills. During that interview they try to detect your future direction. I would advise that you take a moment, judge them and think well if you are a good match for that position. Although the team is composed of the most wonderful people, repetitiveness of the job and sitting in front of computer drains everyone.

Interview
I first interviewed over the phone, and all the questions were pretty much what you would expect. There were no unexpected or technical questions, mostly questions to gauge your experience and how well you can communicate and work with people. If you're familiar with Promega products and have used them, you should highlight this. I advanced to the next round but declined the next interview as I accepted a position elsewhere.
