I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Ecolab (Saint Paul, MN) in Oct 2009
Interview
On campus interview at target school with alum that works for Ecolab. If you are selected to move on, you go to a full career day at Ecolab headquarters where you complete 3 half-hour interviews with senior level management. The interview centers completely around situational questions like, "describe a time you faced a challenge at work and overcame it and what was the outcome."

Question 1
"Describe a time you faced adversity in the workplace and how you overcame it. What was the result?"
I felt like a quick interview compared to ones I had before. I didn't have to answer many questions about the company. Mostly behavioral questions and questions focused on my background/strengths.
