I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Eaton in Aug 2010
Interview
The interview process is as follows: An initial technical interview on the phone for short-listing purposes. This interview grilled me on my resume - my projects and extra-curricular achievements. Once shortlisted in this round I had to wait for about 10 days for my next Face-2-Face interview. In the F2F interview I was tested on my understanding of basics in the subject. There was an HR interview after this and it was a regular HR interview asking about expected salary, etc

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Eaton in Nov 2009
Interview
It was a long interview, from 8:00am to 5:00pm. It is pretty formal interview. Each interviewer went through a lot of behavioral type questions. But, it seems that not much technical questions were asked. Some of interviews were still phone interview, which is due to the diversity of Eaton (They are in the different locations). It is a really good experience for me.
