I applied through a recruiter. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at SC Johnson (Racine, WI) in Feb 2017
Interview
I was surprised by the poorly ran recruiting process I experienced from this company with an excellent reputation. I think anybody that takes the time to spend a day interviewing on site deserves to be contacted with feedback and a notification of a decision, especially for an executive role like this. People were polite (for the most part), but a timeline like this can put most people off, it didn't to me because I had the belief this was a right choice. This is the timeline of my communications:
7/12/16 - Applied to job on line directly at SCJ's site
9/20/16 - Contacted by third party recruiter asking if I was interested in a confidential job, turns out it was a job I had applied to two months before
10/27 - Phone screen with hiring manager
radio silence - no feedback from anyone
11/19/16 - External recruiter confirms on-site interviews for 12/20/16
12/18/16 - Call from SJC to postpone interviews for 1/12/17
1/10/17 - Call from SCJ recruiter to reschedule for 2/2
2/2/17 - on-site interviews, thank you notes sent
Radio silence from recruiter and from SJC
3/2 Still no feedback from anybody
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at SC Johnson (East Lansing, MI) in Sep 2016
Interview
I got the interview through a career fair at my college and was asked a series of questions from three recruiters. The questions were mostly behavioral and I was asked to stem those answers from work experience. Overall the interview was not too stressful and the recruiters did a good job at making me comfortable throughout the interview

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at SC Johnson (Ann Arbor, MI) in Oct 2015
Interview
Talked to them at career fair, had an in person interview. They asked mainly behavioral questions, no technical questions really outside of what classes I was taking and what I would have taken by the start of the position. They allowed me to ask about the internship and about how they liked working for the company, overall it was an average interview.
