I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Georgia-Pacific (Perry, FL)
Interview
I was referred to GP by an employee. There was a quick phone screen interview and then we scheduled a plant trip. I was flown down to Florida, to the Foley plant.
I started out with a tour of the plant. Then there were 4 1-hour long focused interviews (technical skill, leadership, entrepreneurship, initiative); there was also a 30 minute interview with the plant manager. The mood and dress was fairly casual (jeans and a nice shirt was what everyone wore) but the people were pretty driven. They really wanted to make sure that I understood the responsibilities of the position and that I was ready to work in a small town plant. They are really excited if you already know the MBM principles and use any of their key words.
The people were wonderful and the job itself was very exciting; I had to decline for other personal reasons.

Very quick interview process only taking a couple weeks, starting at a college career fair which turned into a formal application. This was then followed up by a pre-recorded behavioral interview. Lastly there was a technical interview with current engineers, where they simply went over the resume and asked technical questions pertaining to the skills and experiences you had listed.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Georgia-Pacific (Crossett, AR) in Nov 2016
Interview
The interview process was in two separate parts from different people, both an hour long each. On top of the MBM principle questions they asked, each individual was interested in where I was from, my work history, and wanted to get to know me on a personal level.
