Applied in August, got an email in December setting up an initial phone interview. Had another phone interview after that, and then was sent an email with an offer. It was a pretty informal process.

Interview
Applied online. Received an email requesting an interview. First round was over the phone with the current intern in the position I was applying for. Asked basic behavioral questions and was very friendly. She asked if I minded switching the next few questions into Spanish (it was a Latin America position). I agreed but it went poorly - my listening and speaking abilities were not up to part at that point. She was very understanding and said that it's tough over the phone - reverted back into English for the rest of the questions. Asked about current events and for some thoughts on relevant security issues.
Actually received a second round interview (I had good answers and I think I was very qualified outside of my failure in Spanish). Again, over the phone.This time it was with a supervisor who I'd be working under if I received the position. Asked similar questions and went more into depth on current events and security issues. Nothing in Spanish but asked about it. Went very well overall.
A few days later, I received an email from the second interviewer saying that I had not received the position. He was very nice about it and thanked me for applying and interviewing.
