Applied online and waited for 3 months before getting an interview invite. Invitiations are given by each department independently from central HR team. HR only shortlists the applicants and then sends the list to each department seeking interns.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 2 months)
There was a total of about 6 interviews; 4 over the phone and 2 in person. The first phone interview was with my immediate supervisor and two other officers that I would have to work with. The second phone interview was with the regional manager for the department. The third phone interview was with HR and the fourth phone interview was with another officer who I would later work with. The first face to face interview was with my immediate supervisor and my second face to face interview was with two officers from another department who work in the local office. The interviews all revolved around the same questions, what was my experience like in my previous job, why did I want to work for IFC, what did I know about IFC, what would I bring to the team etc etc. Fairly generic. Advice for other interview candidates is be honest, research the company before going into the interview, and be confident. There is no predicting what they may ask as the company is very very diverse and each position even within the same department, has very specific requirements. Be sure to review your job description as well and expect that what it says about the position may not be all that you are required to do.

Interviewed Feb 2008 in Washington, DC (took 2+ months)
Interview was held over the phone followed by an interview trip to Washington, DC. The trip was well organized and I met a number of people in various departments.
My main problem was the terrible jet lag. I hadn't slept much in 48 hours having flown 12,000 miles in an economy seat with three stop overs to DC.
The people were pleasant and friendly but my main impression was most employees were looking to move on and do something in the private sector.
"If you are qualified and good at your job why are you interviewing with the IFC?"
