Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
The interview process was very flexible and relaxed. I was referred by an employee/friend. Interviewing consisted of going in for a one-on-one interview that was coordinated through email. Only one interview was necessary and you need to be very personable and show you can work with the other employees in the office. The work culture is relaxed and filled with a lot of hard-working colleagues.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Austin, TX (took 1 week)
Just a week or two after applying, I received an e-mail asking if I could discuss my strengths and experience with the hiring department. I had a phone screen with a member of the team for which I was applying, and it went very well. It was entirely behavioral and went by quickly. The next day, I was invited to come to campus the following week to interview with the team. Four people interviewed me in a panel, and it was all behavioral as well. It went smoothly, and I was asked at the end of the week if I would like the position.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Los Angeles, CA (took 4+ weeks)
I was initially contacted within two days of applying via email. We scheduled an interview within two weeks for the position. After the interview a decision was rendered after 3 weeks. I was interviewed by the director of the program in his office. Very friendly encounter that was more of a running dialogue than hard pressed questions. The work culture was very relaxed.

Interviewed Dec 2008 in Austin, TX (took a day)
Really easy interviewing process. You just sign up at hirealonghorn.com I believe, and they will contact you if there are any open positions. The interview is really easy, and is only available for current students at UT. The job details are really easy as well, you just deliver/pick up and check out laptops and other equipment to students/professors.
