Interviewed Dec 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 5 days)
There was only 1 interview required for the role and only 1 interview slot available, which was inconveniently in the middle of the day.
I was interviewed by the team manager and the person who had previously held the post that was now vacant due to his promotion. The two of them were very welcoming and responded well to my answers. My experience and previous job roles fit the job spec very well, however there seemed to be concerns that the culture at the job I had been doing was too different, in terms of processes and approvals.
I received a response about 2.5 hours after the interview had ended that I had been unsuccessful and had to chase for feedback after the interview, which I received by way of a telephone call from the hiring manager 6 weeks later.

Interviewed May 2010 in New York, NY (took 3 weeks)
the woman I saw at the new york office was nice and asked simple questions, she was basically explaining me the intern tasks and all the other stuffs. She was kind of nice and I thought I got the internship and then I sent a thank you email, I waited one month, did not get any response, I emailed her like four or five times after that to get at least an answer even though it was negative but she NEVER replied, which is very rude. Bad experience!

Interviewed Dec 2010 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 months)
The process is long and involved, you are required to complete an initial competency/IQ test on the internet. You then get invited to an interview with between 2-4 people, this is all about you, your knowledge of the industry and the company. The second interview involves presenting a piece of work that you would have been sent after the first interview. It would be a piece of data that you would need to analyse and draw insights from. You will present these findings in a second interview and discuss the role in more detail. Finally the internal recruiter will either discuss with you or your recruitment company about an offer.

Interviewed Feb 2008 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 3 weeks)
I answered an ad in a trade magazine, submitting my CV. I was called for two interviews, one with an HR person and one with the line manager. The interviews were very civilized and professional and I was researched with regard to the company and its activities. But I did not get a strong sense of the type of person they sought. I did not get the job because I did not have specific television experience.
