Interviewed Apr 2012 (took a day)
Fairly straightforward. I was applying for a general financial internship position but was clearly not interested in the program they were touting. When asked about my financial experience I was quick to narrate my skills but the HR lady had no idea what I was talking about. At that point the other guy who was interviewing me started asking technical questions, which I was not ready for. Go in prepared, do not baffle them with bull as we tend to do when getting nervous.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 weeks)
Beginning stages of the interview moved very quickly. Took the IQ test (SAT-style verbal and math questions) and heard back shortly after. DISH conducted a 2:1 on one phone interview where they asked 100% behavioral questions (give an example of team work you helped with, a problem you solved, etc.).

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Denver, CO (took a day)
You are given an interview. It is half an hour and with two employees. This is for their internship program. They ask you to talk about your resume and then asked you behavioral questions. If you advance to the next stage, they give you a test that takes 2 to 3 hours.

Very long and lacks communication of all the steps involved. Interview is pure behavioral and very conversational.

You need to go to the career fair to get their attention. The face-to-face interview will be key. Convey o them that you fit in, that you are interested in the industry, research industry well. Focus on entrepreneurialism, being adaptable in a fast-paced environment, efficiency and cost-cutting, and being results oriented. Complete all the assessments,as long as you can think clearly and write cogently, you will be ok.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Boulder, CO (took a day)
The panel consisted of who i think were three sales girls who had a sheet of paper and were asking robotic questions to me and just jotting it down. I was interviewing for a Technical intern position and all they were doing is taking down my answers. The questions were all behavioral like "tell me an instance where you failed not once but twice before getting the correct answer" "where you acquired a skill and used it recently"

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took a day)
Met at a university job fair where I was offered an interview the following day. Interview was behavioral mostly based off my resume. After passing the interview stage, I had to do a quantitative and qualitative online assessment and submit a writing sample. After this stage, I had phone interviews with both the HR department and a representative from my department.
