Interviewed Sep 2011 in New York, NY (took 2+ weeks)
I would describe the process as very strange. The head of the art department was very difficult to get ahold of after he first responded to my application. He was very distracted and answered a phonecall that took a long time to wrap up. He liked my work in general but said that Cinema 4D was not software package they use and that I would need to learn Maya. Offered on site training and classes. Long story short, starting salary was too low and I would need to start on Photoshop and work up to Maya even though I know Cinema4D already.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
The company responded to my interview request very promptly via email. I conducted a phone interview with someone from the Human Resources department. It went very quickly, it lasted about 15 minutes. The interviewer was not conversational, they asked the questions and I answered, then we moved on.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took 2 weeks)
Well it was set up through a recruiter i met with someone from upper management, then i was called back a few days later to meet with two more managers from the group. I was asked typical questions about my school and what my internships consisted of. They pretty much made it seem like it was a good environment to work in....definitely not. Anyhow, i was called back a week or two later with an offer. I accepted :-(

Interviewed Mar 2009 in New York, NY (took 2 months)
I applied through the Fox News Channel site, and marked the top three departments that I would like to work in. A few months later, I was contacted by HR in charge of intern recruiting to hold an interview. We conducted about a 30 minute interview. In general, there were many behavioral questions: my experiences, background, leadership, how I thought that this would fit in with my department, why did I prefer the Documentary Unit. I also received questions about Fox and the news industry in general. What is your favorite show on Fox? Anchor? Why? Where do you get your news? etc.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in New York, NY (took 4+ weeks)
Interview process was ok, though a bit tooo slow. I too was told explicitly that i would be told yes or no, within a week.. and still nothing. I think HR should be a little more professional and let the prospective candidates know the outcome. It's just the professional thing to do. I guess based on my experiece and the previous comment, they haven't learned the art of professionalism/courtesy.

Interviewed Jul 2009 (took 1 week)
Simple questions yet very bitter about past employees for the position I was interviewing for. Did not pay attention, was on computer while interviewing me. Questions asked: why i want this role, why I would be a fit...

Interviewed Jan 2007 in Nashville, TN (took 1 week)
Interview was pleasant enough except there were two problems. 1) Was not told until I got there that the job would not be offered outright. A successful applicant would be given a two-week tryout period. Considering how unconventional that arrangement is, I find it off-putting that wasn't mentioned up front. And 2) I was told EXPLICITLY they would call me either way with their decision. They even went so far as to stress that they weren't just saying that. They WOULD call me. It's been a couple years and I still haven't gotten that call.
