Interviewed Nov 2010 in New York, NY (took 3 days)
One of the VP's in Sales was really impressed by me at a client meeting. He mentioned that there was an Account Executive position available on the Sales team and wanted to see if I'd be interested in making a move from Marketing to Sales.
After referring me to the two VP's overseeing that particular position, I met with them and spoke more in depth about the role. They really liked me, and I would have gone farther in the process. However, right after we had that meeting, the entire Sales team had been restructured and that position was eliminated so i didn't get the job.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)
I first spoke to an HR representative who spoke to me about what kind of internship I was looking for, if i was the right fit for Viacom/MTV Networks, and I would be able to handle the time constraints and schedules of the internship position.
I was then put in touch with 2 supervisors in the treasury department, who asked me about my experience in college, my past working experience, and if I had any knowledge about corporate administration/treasury.
