Interviewed Apr 2012 in New York, NY (took 2 days)
Short phone screening followed by an in depth hour and a half long in-person interview. Interviewer asked pre-written questions printed out on 3-4 pieces of paper, many of them repetitive. Very "old school" method of interviewing, closing with a request for references (none of whom were called).

Interviewed Jan 2012 in New York, NY (took 1+ week)
Before I met with the Director I as asked to put together a project biased on a few guidelines of the job.
I met with the Director outside of the company. I think was asked by HR to come in to meet with the rest of the team.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in New York, NY (took 5 days)
I applied for an internship online and heard back about a week later. I didn't live in New York at that point so I went through a phone interview, as a 1:1 interview would not be possible for about a month or so. I spoke with the photo assistant, who would be my supervisor. She asked me a lot of the typical interview questions, such as "why Teen Vogue," "what are you strength/weaknesses." The conversation lasted about 20 minutes.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in New York, NY (took 3 weeks)
Found the job via my university's job board and applied directly to the alum who had posted the posting. The next day, HR reached out to me to set up a meeting with the alum (who was high up in the department). When I came in for the interview, I met with the HR director, then the alum, then the person who would be my direct supervisor. I followed up that night with an email and heard back the next day. I submitted Excel spreadsheets and my transcripts to them.
I was brought in at the end of the week to meet with the Executive Director, which went very well. At this point all the interviews went well and they had told me specifically that even though I did not have strong experience as an analyst.
The next week, I met with the VP of the department. Speaking with the VP on the phone, I realized that he seemed to be tough. The alum called me the day before the interview to prep me and warned that he would be "thourough" and I should be confident. It was the final interview and I was warned it would take an hour at most.
The interview with the VP took 2 hours and included a long skills test. He was condescending and just as scary as the alum warned me about. He seemed to have various personalities during the interview, going from nice to scary to condescending to etc. It was pretty rough. At the end of the interview he told me that I was not a good fit with the department and told me that I would be fine. Offered to recommend me to positions in the company in which I would have a better fit.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)
This interview was a few years ago. I interviewed with two girls in the lobby of one of the magazines offices. I was asked pretty basic questions: why are you interested in publishing, why do you want to intern at Conde Nast, etc. It was horrible though, because this was one of my first professional interviews and the interviewers made me so uncomfortable. They were playing a good cop/bad cop sort of thing. One of the girls was nice enough, asking me most of the questions and the other girl just sat there and stared me down. She was dressed like an Abercrombie kids model circa 2004 and wearing aviators the whole time. INDOORS. Very intimidating and unprofessional.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in New York, NY (took 4 days)
I first went through a phone interview with one of the employees at Conde Nast. The phone interview was very cordial and brief, and lasted about 5 minutes at most. I was asked about my background, why I wanted to work at Conde Nast and also my experience. I was contacted back a few minutes later and was scheduled a face to face interview with another person. The interview was very similar to the phone interview and the interviewer was very friendly throughout the interviewing process.

Recieved an email asking when I could come in.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in New York, NY (took 2 days)
I applied on the website, did a phone-screen interview and got invited to come for a face-to-face. I met with three people who asked me typical questions like "tell me about yourself" and "why do you want to work here". I followed up afterward but got no response, so I guess it didn't go well.
