Interviewed Nov 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (took 4+ weeks)
There's a reason why PETA has 41 job openings in this period of high unemployment. After submitting a 30-minute online, application, I was assigned two "test projects." Extremely time consuming and research intensive, probably took me 30 or 35 hours, and I'm sure they will use the projects, so I should have charged them a consultant's fee. Next, I was interviewed via phone for an hour. Passed that hurdle and then had to do a "mock corporate meeting" via Skype. Did very well on that, and received an email later that day inviting me to LA for the "final step" of the process. That involved working for two days as a volunteer. But the real kicker is that they insisted I pay for my own hotel and airfare to LA ! I live on the East Coast. I felt as though I'd been scammed, and my desire to work for PETA was snuffed. This is a job that involves "extensive travel," so I wonder why they don't have frequent flier miles for applicants they want to bring to LA. I can't imagine what it would be like to work for an organization that places such little value on people's time and effort.

Interviewed May 2010 in Norfolk, VA (took a day)
Recieved a screening call from placement agency. Position seemed positive. 1-1 interviews with managers from different groups. Some were very warm and some gave me a very unconfortable feeling. I did not get a warm feeling from director. Seemed to be a bit sarcastic.
Vegan culture only. Impression people could be really mean if you didn't choose a vegan lifestyle outside of work.
