I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Phoenix Interactive in Jan 2013
Interview
Applied through my university careers website. There was one interview, mostly technical. The beginning was mostly behavioural questions and a bit about the company. There were two technical questions in total. After completing the interview, they asked if I had any questions for them and that was it until they released the employment offers.

It's very easy. 2-3 programming questions on whiteboard.
Then I was given a real source code and was asked to describe it.
It was a C++ class with many constructors. Nothing special. They want to make sure I can understand internal code. I was luck to have an interview with two best people in the company so interview went smoothly and interesting
