Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 3 weeks)
I was asked to do a phone screen with HR about 1-2 weeks after I submitted my application; a week after that I was asked to come in to meet the hiring managers (the people I would be directly working with); and for the final round, I was brought in to meet with someone of their equivalent rank and the VP of the department. I was also given a skills test which consisted of editing.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in New York, NY (took 4+ weeks)
I received a call from HR three days after I submitted my application and was interviewed by phone the next day. The following week I had an interview with the two fellows I would be working for. For some unusual reason this was also conducted over the phone. I was told I would hear back the following week, then the week after, and so on until 3 weeks after the second interview. Suffice to say, I did not get the offer. Still unsure why they wouldn't bring me in to interview, especially considering quick turn around on the application.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 4+ weeks)
The interviewer clearly didn't want to be there... even though I had been pre-screened by HR, was qualified, and was applying to be his direct hire, he asked vague, condescending questions that were totally unrelated to the job description.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 3 weeks)
It was your basic interview, first with the HR person, then a writing test. Then a call back with the person you report to, then a group interview, then one final interview with the person you report to. NOTE: I was given the wrong date for my 1:1 interview. Was left sitting in the lobby for 10 minutes before they came down and asked if I could come back another day.

Interviewed Dec 2008 (took a day)
I learned about the organization through articles I read for my political science classes. I applied for the internship through the website and wrote a cover letter for it. There was one in-person interview with HR and the respective department. The questions were very general - why are you interested in the position? What relevant experience do you have? Where do you see yourself after college?
