I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) (Gaithersburg, MD)
Interview
Interview started with an introduction into the company and position. Then transitioned into the average behavioral questions. Some were a little strange such as the Burger question. They were clearly looking for you to take the blame but was given a scenario in which the blame is (in the real world) actually on the company. Ended up talking about being able to accept blame/take responsibility.
Then came the coding questions. Was handed a piece of paper and told to hand write the code. They didn't have any pencils and I only had my pen. They also pretended to talk, joke around, move things around the table to mimic typical office environment. Was a little stressful while you are handwriting code with a pen while 3 people talk and wait for you to finish.
While I struggled with some of the code, I don't know how I did as I never heard back. I'm assuming I wasn't selected for the position.

I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) (Gaither, MD)
Interview
Gave my resume at University Career Fair and they contacted me after a month. After a initial phone screening, had a in person interview, which seemed like the last step of the hiring process. Three interviewers asked both behavioral and technical questions. It lasted for at least couple of hours. They took notes on their iPad. At the end, they gave me a tour of their office. The interview went well and I expected an offer. However, I had to followup with them and after 15-20 days, they said they won't be moving forward with my application.

The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) (Gaithersburg, MD) in Mar 2014
Interview
I was asked mostly questions about my background a lot of chatting in the room with management. Fairly informal only one coding problem. There was mostly talk about what would you do in certain situations. What is your favorite football team. It was incredibly laid back. There was the infamous burger question about whose fault it is if your friend orders burgers and you pick them up and get the wrong order, your friend, the restaurant, or yourself.
