I applied online. I interviewed at 3M (Irvine, CA) in May 2014
Interview
After a great phone interview with the hiring manager, the HR manager called and left a message asking me to give them some dates when I may be available for an in-person interview. Within hours I replied with my availability. Days went by - weeks - months - and no call back. For a week or so I continued to give them updates on my availability. I even emailed the hiring manager. Neither was professional enough to even send an email saying "we've moved on to other candidates" or "sorry, our hiring process has been delayed, please hang tight and we'll contact you ASAP". I expected more professionalism from 3M.

Intro to yourself and what have you done in your current role.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at 3M
Interview
Two weeks from HR to direct manager interview. Typical behavioral to technical questions. Offer relatively low comparing to other companies. Good way to learn about being in a big corporation, then bring that to a smaller company for a huge pay bump
It was a smooth process. The questions were very straightforward and I was able to showcase my experience and make myself marketable for the position. The company was eager to learn about me and genuinely looking for qualified employees
