I have applied through careers online .The entire process took 3 to 4 weeks .I really like onsite interview process and preparation needed for onsite interview made me to know even better about SFDC Platform . HR team is very informative in the entire process and very well scheduled .

There was a call with the recruiter, a call with the hiring manager, a call with the hiring manager's boss, three additional individual calls with three other people on the the team and a demo.
