Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 1 week)
Simple as can be -- they took a look at my materials, interviewed me by phone, put me to work within the next two weeks, However, none of those people are there any more and I don't believe there is a process by which creatives can apply in such a manner at this point..

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Dublin, County Dublin (Ireland) (took a day)
I was contacted by a recruiter whom I knew, he plugged me into the process so I didn't apply or anything. I went through a phone interview, then a series of interviews with different people - all of them happening one after another on one afternoon/evening, which was quite convenient. In the end I wasn't offered the position and was never given any reason why. It was frustrating - the recruiter who got me included in the process also tried to get this answer from AOL but didn't hear back from them.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Baltimore, MD (took 1+ week)
I had applied online through the company website. After a couple of weeks I had a telephonic interview followed by a 1:1 interview at their office. They verbally offered me the position the next day which I accepted. Although it did take much time for them to send the official offer letter.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 3 months)
While the actual interviews are generally nice and easy, the process is not. Companies dont succeed by telling top talent fresh out of school to wait 3 months for an offer that is well below average.
the last girl I interviewed was willing to take a position at 40k but after waiting over 3 months for a reply, she moved on. she was later hired by another manager at my new company, for well over 40k.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
Met with two people. One was the head of the division and the second was the person leaving (getting promoted). The offices were amazing. The people all seemed to really enjoy working for AOL and loved what they did.
One question was what do you like to do during your free time? I answered and she responded "we really want people to have interest outside of work etc." which I thought was weird since I do have interests outside of work and conveyed them to her.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in New York, NY (took 4+ weeks)
Very long interview process which included meeting with six to seven people. Cross-functional interviews and some with the potential direct manager. Questions were straight-forward: background, fit, growth areas for the company and new opportunities. Ended with questions for them. Everyone was incredibly friendly and professional.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Reston, VA (took 3 weeks)
I interviewed over the phone with a recruiter and then proceeded with a one one interview wtih VP Talent Management. It was apparent the person really did not know what they were looking for in an HR person and they were more fishing about background and experience.
