Interviewed Feb 2012 in Atlanta, GA (took 4+ weeks)
I initially applied through the website and received a call the next week to set up a webcam interview for the next week. My recruiter was extremely friendly. The webcam interview was through AT&T Connect or something like that which took a few minutes to figure out and consisted almost entirely of behavioral questions while the recruiter took notes throughout. The next week I received a call from my recruiter letting me know that I'd made it to the next round of the interviewing process, which was an interviewing event in Atlanta. It was all-expenses paid and they schedule all the flights, transportation, hotel, etc. Business formal clothes mandatory. The interviewing event was from 9am-3pm and consisted of a welcome introduction and presentation where we met all of the associate directors and learned more about the program; a one on one interview with one of the associate directors that consisted of behavior based interview questions very similar or identical to the webcam ones (with the associate director taking notes throughout); a tour of the facilities by current students; lunch with two associate directors, two students, and a few other interviewees where we got to ask the students questions while the directors took notes; another presentation; and finally, a round table/executive interaction where the interviewees asked some of the directors questions. Everyone was very friendly, enthusiastic, and definitely believed in the company and the direction in which it's headed. The interview event was very helpful as it gave a clear picture of the expectations of the students and definitely showed that we would be working hard.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 weeks)
I received an email from a recruiter to apply and then was granted a webcam interview, she loved the fact that I was on time and didn't have any problems setting it up. It was very easy. The recruiter asked a lot of a sales questions and leadership type questions. She also wanted to know why I wanted to work for At&t and what makes At&t so different.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 3 weeks)
First you have to have just graduated from college or on the verge of. Another key thing is that you have a good resume on hand. I had a couple of internships and worked in retail all throughout college and realized that this really helped during my interviews. If they like what they see, they will contact pretty fast (I got a call the following day after applying).
My first interview was with a really nice woman from HR in Florida. The interview was through webcam which was pretty cool in my opinion. She asked a lot about what I did in school, my jobs and my experiences with leadership. LEADERSHIP is a big talking point throughout all the interviews you have. The point of the program is to mold leaders into future AT&T leaders. I felt great about the interview and got a callback the next day saying I have a 2nd webcam interview the following week.
My 2nd interview was with someone who worked directly in the program. This interview was also webcam as I stated before and it was similar to the 1st one but my leadership was what was being asked about the most and how I handled certain situations whether be at work or school. It was a great talk and once again felt great about it. I got a call a couple of days later stating that I was on to the 3rd and final interview.
The 3rd interview was in-person with the Director of Retail Sales in my area. It took place in the back of a AT&T retail store. This one was like the previous two but they also ask about what are your goals in life and what do you feel you bring to the program. I realized the Director and I had a lot in common and felt very comfortable talking about myself and my ambitions. Being yourself is a real attribute because they want to meet and see the real you.
Took just a couple of days after the 3rd interview and I was offered a position in the program where you'll be training in Atlanta, GA for 6 months (this is 1 of the reasons why I loved the program when I first saw it). I start at the end of October and I'm very excited especially with all the experience and perks you get. I've been told it's like a classroom setting so be prepared to learn a lot. I've said enough here about the program but there is so much more than I suggest to look it up in the AT&T careers website. (FYI: This is an honest review of what I went through and I couldn't have been happier with how everything went through my interview process)
