I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Siemens
Interview
Interviewed with two people: a grad student and his boss. Both were extremely nice. Required me to bring my laptop with several programs written in C. Asked generic questions about my school work and what makes me unique. Very easy interview, and the interviewers were not intimidating at all. Very professional and quick with email correspondence to set up the interview. I was 1 of 4 candidates selected from a pool of 400.
