I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Samsung Electronics (New York, NY) in Oct 2013
Interview
2 rounds
1. Fit Interview
Ask questions about willingness to move to Korea, interest in strategy, passion for technology
2. Case interview and Presentation
Traditional case questions that you find in traditional consulting firm interviews. Presentation will ask 5 questions in advance to evaluate your slide making and presentation skills
The overall experience was good. For internship it's one fit interview and one case interview. For the case interview, interviewer share-screened a deck with me and asked multiple questions along the deck. The case is relevant to Samsung business therefore retail / CPG background would definitely help. They will also ask you math calculations.
