I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Robbinsville, NJ) in Jun 2013
Interview
The process entails an hour long phone interview. The primary focus of the phone interview is to review your resume in detail - includes discussion of educational and professional experience, explanation of the management development program, and questions for the recruiter. A day later, the recruiter called to schedule an on-site interview. I was interviewed at the NJ warehouse by two young managers and a director. The first interview consist of a tour of the facility, was asked questions throughout the tour such as why do we do something a certain way and how can you improve that process. Later, another interview in a small room. Very simple questions regarding my experience, career expectations, and explain the company's core customer. Lastly, a third interview by a director. He asked general questions regarding my role at my current employer, and why the company made a specific operational decision versus what a competitor is doing. I cannot say anything but position things regarding my experience despite not receiving an offer. It wasn't a difficult process as a recruiter approached me after finding my resume online. I would advice to ask lots of questions, relax, pay close attention to details as you will be asked to explain or improve a process. I was very surprised I was not given an offer, seems like an extraordinary place to work with talented individuals from top schools. Good luck!

I applied online. I interviewed at McMaster-Carr (Chicago, IL)
Interview
The interview process was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. I really appreciated that the discussions were fully behavioral, allowing me to naturally draw on my past experiences. Furthermore, the company truly goes out of its way to treat you like a VIP throughout the entire visit, covering a remarkably nice hotel stay and providing a generous stipend to ensure you are completely comfortable.
