After submitting an online application and completing a personality quiz, I got a call from HR informing me about the interview. The interview process involved two parts: a brief large group session lasting 10-20 minutes, followed by a more in-depth 1-2 hour personal interview with the department managers. It's a good idea to bring at least one complete portfolio and three copies of your resume.
