The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cook Group (West Lafayette, IN) in Apr 2012
Interview
Phone screen with management and human resources then in-house technical presentation with Q&A afterward with management and human resources. Then I ate lunch with the entire team to see how I would interact with the group. The follow up from HR with the offer was fairly quick from the in-house interview (less than 2 weeks).
