Interviewed Apr 2012 (took a day)
It was a conversational interview and I was expected to ask most of the questions. The interviewer kept asking if I had any more questions. It was relaxed. It was a very nice office, but I did not get a tour.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in Washington, DC (took 3+ weeks)
The interview process was long, but that's not uncommon from my experience. I met with many different employees, 6 on the actual team I'd be working for (junior, senior, and exec level), 2 execs, and HR. There was a writing test, which is also standard for the industry - it was challenging but enjoyable to do, which is how I knew I would like the job. The people I met with were very warm and sociable, and had a great reparte with one another. I could definitely sense the congenial environment that was described.

Interviewed May 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
Found the internship through browsing the web, and felt I had the qualifications to apply to APCO. Initial online application required answering standard questions (why APCO) that sort of thing, as well as writing a pretend op-ed to test writing skills. Then I was moved on to a phone interview with the same sort of standard questions (what publications do you read? give examples of your strengths). I had to wait a few days after the initial phone interview to be moved on to a second one, where it was a bit more about personality traits (what do you do in your free time). A day or two after that I was extended an offer.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Washington, DC (took 4 weeks)
I applied online, and received an email that I should clear a few moments of my day to be interviewed via phone by APCO. I was contacted and interviewed by 3 members of the marketing client service group. The questions were pretty standard informational questions and behavioral questions. The people were very nice, and made me feel comfortable.
I suggest you review your resume and the position you are applying for and leverage how your past experiences make you a great candidate for the position - standard stuff.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 2 weeks)
Started well enough with a phone interview. The HR recruiter seemed pleasant and upbeat. When I went to the office, I first took a writing and editing test where I wrote an op-ed and edited sentences for commonly misused and misspelled words and grammatical constructions. That took me an hour or so. The HR recruiter then interviewed me for 15 minutes. The questions were rather generic. Originally, my interview was supposed to last for three hours, but then they wanted me for another three on top of that. The way they did it was not nice at all. The first two and half hours were jammed packed with interviews, ended at 11:30 am. Then the HR recruiter put me in a conference room for 2 hours, where she didn't let me go for lunch even for a brief period and communicated very little to me as to what I was waiting for. In all, I interviewed with several people, including would-be colleagues and would-be supervisors. I was then informally offered a position by one of the would-be supervisors a few days later, but when I followed up, the HR recruiter said he had spoken out of turn and could not offer me a position.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 2 weeks)
I applied for the position online, two days later they called me wanting to set up an interview that same day. Interviewed two days later with hiring manager, who was very pleasant. I had a second phone interview and the interviewer was 20 minutes late and was overall rude & disrespectful.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took a day)
I had a short phone interview one day. Went over my resume with the hiring manager. She was more interested in the parts of the resume that I felt weren't important for the job, and had no interested when I tried to bring up my experiences that were applicable to the position. She had a pretty negative outlook from the beginning, which caught me off guard. I was originally really interested in the position and APCO in general, but after the interview I lost all interest.
