I applied through college or university. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Danaher in Nov 2009
Interview
Applied via my school and on line at their website. Was brought in for an on-campus interview and went through the first round. Was supposed to hear back about the second round within three weeks. Was then told that the second round was being delayed for a month. Never heard back until February when I was told they were no longer hiring for this year.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Danaher in Nov 2009
Interview
Initial interview was with HR Manager. Her goal was to confirm that my education and work experience met the basic requirements for the role. Basic behavioral questions were asked - Why Danaher etc.
My second interview was with the VP of Marketing. He was specifically intereested in New Product Development. Wall Street appears to ding Danaher for not driving more organic growth. The company is great at M&A and cutting out the fat. Now Wall Street wants to see Product Development.
So if you are looking at Danaher make sure you have significant New Product Development expereince to speak to.
