Interviewed Feb 2012 in Clinton, NJ (took 2 days)
Everyone was very friendly - was called in by a recruiter who saw my resume on careerbuilder.com - first round of interview was just an explanation of the job and company etc. Got a call back and will be attending second interview soon.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Broomfield, CO (took 1+ week)
The process was great and the people were very relaxed and kind. They do ask all about your background and be ready to use a lot of personal stories. To even get an interview, you have to score well on a personality test online.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 1+ week)
It started as a phone interview. Then I had an interview with the Managing Director at his office and the recruiting officer there. The whole process took less than two weeks. Before the contract can be finalized, you must pass a federal background check consisting of 2 finger printings. Also, you will be required to pass any insurance licensing exams needed.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took 2+ weeks)
Very relaxed, I talked my way into the internship. They did not specifically tell me what I would be doing, and I later learned the hard way that it is a sales job. Great education on the products but it doesn't fit my passive personality.
Two interviews, one with a recruiter, who I am guessing will always be a woman (hmm wonder why?) and then with my college unit director. Basically he/she is your mentor for the internship. I made a 3 slide powerpoint for him describing my skills/assets for the company. He offered on the spot.
