I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at C&D Zodiac (La Palma, CA) in July 2012
Interview
My initial application was sent through a friend to the HR department. The response time was within a week, and the interview was a week after. The people that interviewed me were very friendly, and unlike other places I interviewed at, the first thing they did was take me on a tour of the shop floor. They explained what the position was and what the company did. The interview revolved mostly around my resume and past experiences as a recent graduate.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at C&D Zodiac (La Palma, CA) in Feb 2013
Interview
Phone screening first, then visit to the facility and they give you a very easy CATIA V5 where you have to create a few parts and assemblies, then a written Engineering Design Test where they ask what would you do in different scenarios, then you need to make a presentation of your past work.
